FAQ's
Where and how are Pop Oats made?
Pop Oats were hatched from the minds of two Berkeley alumni, and the product is now proudly made in nearby Albany, CA. Our patent pending process involves a unique spin on air popping, and creates a crunchy texture that has to be tasted to be believed…it's truly unlike any other oat you've ever tried.
How are Pop Oats different than other kinds of oat products?
Unlike other oat products that are often rolled or steel cut, we like to say that "no oats were harmed in the making of our product." Our product uniquely both starts and ends with a whole oat groat, which is very simply an oat kernel with the hull removed. Less processing equals more of nature's goodness.
What's the best way to eat Pop Oats?
You're only limited by your imagination! Now as for us, we enjoy both the original and flavored varieties by themselves, though the original variety also makes a great crouton substitute on salads and adds an amazing, crunchy contrast to yogurt.
What is the shelf life of Pop Oats?
Each bag of Pop Oats has a 'best by' date on the back, which is generally 3-6 months after the product was produced depending on the variety. Our product has no preservatives whatsoever, so it's best consumed within a few days once opened. If you're ever unsatisfied with the product for any reason, simply email us and we'll make it right.
Do Pop Oats contain any of the 8 major allergens?
Pop Oats doesn't contain any of the 8 major allergens, though the product is manufactured on equipment that occasionally processes tree nuts and peanuts.
Are Pop Oats gluten free?
Our oats come from a certified gluten free grower, so have peace of mind and enjoy as much as you like.
Are Pop Oats vegan friendly?
Both our original/unflavored and BBQ varieties are vegan friendly, and we're currently working on additional flavored varieties that are as well.
What's the story behind the oat in the spaceship?
While oats are currently trapped in the breakfast world (oatmeal - we're looking at you), the combination of our on-the-go convenience and great flavored varieties are finally launching oats into the snack universe…boldly going where no oat has gone before. We're excited for the journey and looking forward to having you on board with us!
