Naked oats grow with no hull.
Their protein and fat content is higher than regular or hulled oats. Naked oats are a developing commodity. First appearing approximately 15 to 20 years ago, early varieties had very poor agronomic characteristics and yields were low. This resulted in a tight supply and high cost. However, newer varieties of naked oats, which are grown primarily in Canada and Australia, have greatly improved yields and hardiness.
