description Sowens Overview

Sowens, also called sowans, is a traditional Scottish preparation made from the husks and fine meal left after milling oats. The oat material is soaked in water and allowed to ferment, producing a sour, porridge-like liquid or gruel that can be cooked and served as food. It belongs to older rural food traditions of Scotland and differs from ordinary oat porridge because fermentation and the use of oat by-products are central to its preparation.
