Oats – Hydrosoluble extract
Moisturizing - Antioxidant - SoothingAvena sativa: Oats is a specie of monocotyledonous plants of the Poaceae family. This annual plant is native from Asia, and is grown throughout Europe. Oats have a cylindrical stem 25 to 150 cm tall, with erect habit. The glabrous, long and slender leaves are 2 to 10 mm wide and engulf the stems. They present a white ligule. The inflorescences are loose panicles. They are 8 to 30 cm long, with spikelets of 2 to 3 flowers. The flake is dry, hairy and surrounded by nonadhering lemmas that remain closed. Here is what could be read in an English dictionary of 1755. "Oats: a cereal that the Scots consume, but the English only give to their horses. " The Scots react with these words: "This is why England has such good horses and Scotland so admirable men. " Oats are now acclaimed around the world for its nutritional value and culinary originality. Despite this, oat farming is declining worldwide: its production has increased from 64 million tons in 1955 to 21 million tons in 2013, a decline of two thirds in less than sixty years. Given a significant increase in yields, these figures indicate an even greater reduction in area under oats.
