Glier’s Goetta is delicious. At breakfast, lunch, and even dinner, Glier’s Goetta is a treat. It has a history all its own, and Glier’s Goetta is woven into the fabric of its loyalists’ lives. Glier’s Goetta is also nutritious. That’s right, Glier’s Goetta is NUTRITIOUS.

While it’s hard to believe the melt-in-your-mouth heaven that is Glier’s Goetta could possibly be good for anything more than your taste buds, the fact is that what makes Glier’s Goetta savory and unique – pinhead oats – is also what makes it heart-healthy, cholesterol-friendly, and fiber-rich. You may be familiar with steel-cut or coarse-cut oats, Irish or Scotch oats. These are all the same as pinhead oats. What makes them different from the quick-cooking oatmeal, or rolled oats, in your pantry, however, is the pure simplicity with which they are produced.

Pinhead oats are nothing but broken pieces of the oat kernel’s inner portion; they are golden in color, resembling bits of rice. These oats arrive at Glier’s Goetta completely unprocessed, their whole-grain nutty taste and texture intact. While you certainly can taste that simple is better, you may take greater comfort in the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) assertion that diets rich in whole grain foods are low in total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol and may reduce the risk of some cancers.

Furthermore, by virtue of being so very unadulterated from the start, pinhead oats lend their high contents of Vitamin B, calcium, protein, and fiber to the Glier’s Goetta recipe. The day-to-day body benefits and long-term health advantages of fiber, in particular, are just about limitless. Fiber helps to flush the body of fat and other toxins, paving a healthy life path less susceptible to chronic life-threatening conditions like diabetes and heart disease.

Now that you’ve been dazzled by the greatness of a good, clean oat, you also must know of the absolute simplicity of the Glier’s Goetta recipe. Today, just like in 1946 when it was perfected, Glier’s Goetta is neither produced nor manufactured. Rather, Glier’s Goetta is slow-cooked, a machine-less technique proven tried and true by your grandmother and your great-grandmother, a technique not practiced by very many other sausage makers.

In fact, Glier’s Goetta is a slow-cooked marriage of pork, beef, pinhead oats, and spices. That’s it. Through the course of slow-cooking, much of the fat that remains in a traditional sausage is removed from each of the Glier’s Goetta varieties, making this delicious treat nearly half the fat of the other. These practices, coupled with the inherent values of the pinhead oat, make Glier’s Goetta a downright health-conscious choice.

With every bite of Glier’s Goetta, your heart smiles right back at your smiling taste buds. Now that’s yummy.
