Oats

Oats are the grain of the oat plant, a familiar pantry staple in many homes. They are commonly cooked with water or milk to make a warm porridge, often topped with fruit, nuts or honey. Oats are also added to baked goods such as cookies, breads and granola, and some people steep them in hot water to make a simple drink. At Dekenet Al Nes, oats sit on the shelf alongside our herbal tea selection and are sold loose by the kilo, so you can take just the amount you need. Dekenet Al Nes is a package-free grocery store in Baaqline, in the Chouf, where customers are encouraged to bring their own jars, bags or containers and refill them, helping to cut down on plastic waste and single-use packaging.
