Hercules oatmeal

The famous hero of the myths of ancient Greece, the son of the ruler Olympus god Zeus and the beautiful Alkmena Hercules or Hercules (Ἡρακλῆς) is repeatedly mentioned in the imperishable work of Homer Iliad. This famous epic poem was woven from the myths of Ancient Greece by a skilled poet-storyteller of Antiquity. Hercules was perhaps the most popular hero of ancient Greek myths, it was he who performed 12 exploits, the fame of which for a long time haunted the other heroes of the Ancient world.

Soviet food producers relied on the fame of the ancient Greek hero and named him the first oats that began to be produced in the country. In addition, in the culture of the Slavs, oats itself has always been associated with a food that can give strength and energy. It is noteworthy that at present, even in the menus of many catering establishments, you can find the name herculean, instead of oatmeal.

The name of the first oats Hercules is firmly established in the culinary tradition of the countries of the post-Soviet space. Hercules oatmeal is primarily a healthy and nutritious product made from oats. In addition, Hercules oatmeal is a well-known trademark for the vast majority of post-Soviet residents, which has been in stable demand and popular for more than half a century.

Hercules oats differ from other similar foods in that they are produced exclusively on the basis of high-quality natural plant raw materials. Oats belong to herbaceous plants from the Cereal family. For centuries, people have used oats in cooking, as well as to make healthy and highly nutritious pet food. It is worth noting that the vitamin-mineral composition of oats is enriched with a fairly large amount of useful natural compounds and vitamins.

In the process of processing cereal grains, the vegetable shell is removed and oat groats of the highest grade are produced. Then oat groats are subjected to repeated treatment and flattened with the help of special rollers to the state of petals. During such a sufficiently long treatment process, oats lose some of the initial volume of vitamins, minerals and other useful compounds. However, the vitamin-mineral composition of Hercules oats is also characterized by a high content of vitamins of group B, E, H and PP.

In addition, Hercules oats contain magnesium, potassium, manganese, sodium, sulfur, iodine and zinc. The calorie content of Hercules cereal is distinguished by its fairly high level and is at 352 Kcal, which are per 100 grams of product. However, this level of calorie content of Hercules cereal does not prevent nutritionists and doctors from including the product in the menu of medical and dietary nutrition.
