What is whole grain cereal

Whole grain means that the whole grain is preserved with all its properties.

1. The outer layer of the grain is called the "bran" and contains protein, vitamin B and fibre.
2. The inside of the cereal grain is called the 'endosperm' and is starchy and rich.
3. The third component, the inner core, is called the "germ". The germ contains vitamins and essential fatty acids and antioxidants.

The fibre content is 12 g/100 g and the protein content is 14 g/100 g.

Why organic oatmeal

Organic oats are high in potassium, calcium and protein, supplemented with high levels of soluble fibre (proven to help lower cholesterol) and insoluble fibre (useful for healthy digestion).

It's also rich in B vitamins, B1, B2, inositol and the hard-to-get (and extremely heart-healthy) beta-glucan, so it's a way to get a healthy start to the day.

This oatmeal has one more ace up its sleeve, like all other oatmeal it has an extremely low glycemic index.

This means that they are slowly absorbed into the bloodstream, providing a longer and slower release of energy, helping to keep blood sugar levels stable and keeping you full for much longer than other breakfasts!

These properties make oats great for controlling your weight, or more specifically, your appetite.

What does rolled oats mean

Rolled means that the grain has been flattened by passing between two rollers. Nothing else is done to the grain, thus preserving all the natural properties of this exceptional plant. By rolling, we can eat the grains as they are, whereas whole grains would break our teeth.

Moreover, it cooks much faster: in 5 to 10 minutes the porridge is warm and creamy.

What is the difference between regular and jumbo oatmeal?

Rolled oatmeal, also known as regular oatmeal, is created by cooking and then rolling into flakes. The steaming process contributes to the stabilisation of oats by deactivating lipid hydrolyzing enzymes.

This keeps the oats fresh for longer while increasing the surface area, which allows for faster cooking. Oatmeal is by far the most popular form of oats and can be used for a variety of purposes.

It is cooked on the stove as porridge, made into overnight oats, used as an ingredient in pancakes, pastries, muesli, smoothies and more. Oatmeal is best cooked on the stovetop and usually takes 5-10 minutes to prepare.

Jumbo oats are simply parched and then rolled. No cutting to a smaller size is necessary. Enjoy it simply as a creamy porridge. To make overnight oatmeal, add chia seeds and almond flakes, cover with coconut milk and refrigerate overnight.

Try making your own granola using spices, nuts and seeds. Prepare oat and banana breakfast muffins.

Certified organic

What does organic mean?

Certified organic ingredients. Organic farming restricts the inputs that may be used, prohibits herbicides and permits only approved plant-protection substances. That is why certified grain sourcing matters more to us than the word ‘natural’ on a pack.

More about organic certification

Organic certification verifies a controlled production system with rules for growing, permitted inputs and processing. Organic ingredients are identified by an asterisk in the ingredients list.

Turtle: a Belgian organic breakfast specialist

From a family idea to a Belgian breakfast brand

Laurence and Thilo founded Turtle in Belgium in 2014 while looking for organic breakfasts for their own family. They had struggled to find organic cereals and options without added sugar. Expecting their first child sharpened their interest in breakfast, and Laurence began developing the business during maternity leave.

The range grew from porridge into granola and a cereal collection of its own. Turtle sold its first porridge in 2015, added granola in 2020 and launched a new cereal range in 2021. The founders paired familiar breakfast shapes and flavours with organic ingredients.

Turtle also develops recipes using its products. Overnight oats with strawberry chia jam are one example, with ideas extending to other breakfasts and desserts.

Certified organic ingredients

Organic certification covers the agricultural ingredients identified in each recipe, including grains, cocoa, nuts and seeds. Turtle uses these ingredients in its sweetened cereals and fillings too.

Grain-based and grain-free recipes

Alongside wholegrain oats, Turtle uses blends of seeds and nuts. Power Granola Nuts & Seeds contains a 79% seed blend, including buckwheat, and 8% nuts. It is oven-toasted and sweetened with agave syrup.

Colour from plant extracts

In Marshmallow Crunchies, extracts of spirulina, apple, carrot and radish give the colourful pieces their shades. Natural vanilla flavouring provides the vanilla taste.

Different ways to sweeten

The plain rolled oats have no added sugar. Other recipes use ingredients such as cane sugar, honey, maple syrup or agave syrup. Sweetening information therefore applies to the individual product rather than the whole range.

Checks on the gluten-free range

Turtle regularly tests products labelled gluten-free for gluten levels below 20 mg/kg. The gluten-free oats and Marshmallow Crunchies both appear in the AOECS licensing register for the Crossed Grain Trademark. The label does not cover the entire range.

Two Great Taste stars

Cornflakes Dark Chocolate earned two Great Taste stars in independent food judging. The award belongs to this particular recipe of cornflakes coated in dark chocolate.

The people behind Turtle and its journey to you

Laurence and Thilo: breakfast, inspired by family life

• Laurence is Belgian and grew up in Spain and Denmark; Thilo is German. They met in Belgium and brought experiences of food from different European countries to their shared project.
• The name Turtle comes from the fable of the tortoise and the hare. The tortoise became both the name and the symbol of their breakfast brand.
• Laurence and Thilo continue to work on Turtle together. A family project has grown into a business with an expanding team, which also shares recipes for making breakfast at home.

Pravé Bio: from meeting in Malmö to direct distribution

• We met Laurence and Thilo in person at a trade fair in Malmö. Their ambition to offer familiar breakfasts with organic ingredients, alongside recipes without added sugar, appealed to us.
• We import and distribute Turtle directly for the Czech Republic. At Pravé Bio, you buy from an importer and distributor who knows the founders personally.
• We are Jana and Honza, and we spent almost twenty years living in London. Breakfast cereals were part of everyday life there, yet finding organic options that met our standards took some searching. Read our story.
