Naked oat is a relatively new grain crop that is currently perceived as niche. However, with each passing year, the demand for products made from naked oat is increasing, as more people seek to consume quality and healthy food. The rising demand for healthy food products, such as organic, bio, fitness, and farmer’s products, produced in limited quantities, has been observed. In Ukraine, the consumption of naked oat for food is gradually increasing, due to the increase in the percentage of people engaged in healthy eating.
Nevertheless, it remains a tradition to primarily cultivate hulled oats, while naked oat occupies insignificant areas in production. However, this makes naked oat a unique crop in its own way. Some opinions attribute the limited use of naked oat in modern production to its insufficient study, higher demands for cultivation conditions, and certain biological drawbacks that ultimately affect its yield and quality.
