Recently, I walked into the Mengbei Oats Shandong Factory of the Mengbei Oats Health Industry Group. Behind the modern production lines, there are two groups of eight pickers in clean clothes… After two hours of visit, the reporter asked, so Why do modern production plants still need pure manual selection?
Introduced by the person in charge of production: From entering the factory to the finished product, the raw materials of Mengbei oats need to go through 26 checkpoints, including dust cleaning, size screening, specific gravity screening, magnetic separation, color selection, wall breaking, cleaning, soaking, and seven low-temperature cycle maturation. It takes packaging and so on to complete all the processes of a high-end Mengbei natural oatmeal.
Although the previous pure machine screening was low cost and high efficiency, it still did not meet our requirements. The final process before the packaging of the finished product must be completed by a real person, so as to ensure that a defective oatmeal is not packed into the packaging.
Mengbei Oats Shandong Factory, built in 2017 in accordance with the international 100,000-level standardized purification workshop, passed the ISO90001 quality management system, ISO14001 environmental management system and ISO180001 health management system triple certification of the International Organization for Standardization, and passed the Chinese food organic, American food organic and EU food Organic triple organic certification is also China’s first oats factory to obtain the international export quality standard HACCP certification enterprise. The factory independently developed a new technology of C4 ultra-low temperature preservation nutrition, which completely solved the global problem of nutrient loss during the processing of oats. With 56 inventions and new-type patents, it will be rated as a national high-tech enterprise in 2020.
It is reported that Mengbei Oats Health Industry Group is an oat industry chain group company that specializes in natural oat cultivation, natural oat production, natural oat scientific research, and natural oat brand operation. North Natural Oats Planting Base, Inner Mongolia Mengbei Oats Production Plant, Shandong Mengbei Oats Production Plant and Mengbei Oats Shandong Service Company.
Oats are called “nutrition storehouse” by the West, and they can be called natural health food. In addition to its high nutritional value, oatmeal also helps reduce cholesterol, stabilize blood sugar, clear blood vessel fat, clear blood vessel toxins, clear intestinal toxins, prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and reduce fat. The high-quality protein, high dietary fiber and comprehensive nutritional value of oatmeal can alleviate some chronic diseases.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recognized oats as a functional food in 1997 through 25 years of research; among the top ten healthy foods in the world published by Time Magazine on February 10, 2002, oats ranked fifth. It is the only cereal on the list.
Ordinary oat planting mainly pursues high yield and high efficiency. The use of chemical substances such as fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, etc. greatly compromises the health value of oats. In addition, the growth preference of oats is different from that of general grains. It prefers high-cold and high-altitude climates.
In order to grow pure natural oats, in 2012, the founder Mr. Li Gangling contracted more than 20,000 acres of land in Inner Mongolia, where there is no mobile phone signal and no human population, and started planting without the application of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides. Way.
The northern Mongolia area is more than 1,000 meters above sea level. In summer, there are grassy grasslands like green water and lush grasslands. In winter, there are endless snowfields with ice and snow. The snow cover period is as long as 5 months.
I began to sprinkle seeds to let the oats grow naturally in the ground, and as a result, weeds grew and there was no harvest for two consecutive years.
Later, in order to restrain the mad growth of grass and perfectly harmonize the growth ratio of grass and oats, Li Gangling and his team adopted the method of crushing oat stalks and returning them to the field. After crushing the oat stalks, the oat stalks were spread thickly on the ground to cover the sun on the one hand. , Inhibit the growth of grass seeds, on the other hand, it can rot, ferment, and make into natural organic fertilizer, which provides a high-quality soil environment for the growth of oats. At the same time, we explored, summarized, and used the principle of mutual growth and mutual restraint, and adopted a series of methods such as staggered season sowing, wide ridge and dense planting, and fallow rotation to let the soil recuperate, and gradually established a set of control system for the pure natural oats planting method exclusive to Mongolian oats.
In 2015, the pure natural oats were finally successfully planted in this cold area of northern Mongolia. Since then, it has created a precedent for China’s “natural oats planting method”. Li Gangling is known as the “China’s first natural oats”.
In 2017, Mengbei oats were recognized by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People’s Republic of China as “Products with the Protection of Ecological Origin of the People’s Republic of China”; in 2018, Mengbei oats successively obtained organic food certification from China, the United States and the European Union; its output has increased from the previous 30 years Jin has increased to more than 100 Jin now.
Currently, Mengbei Oats has a planting scale of 110,000 mu, which is currently the world’s largest pure natural oat planting base. In 2018, Mengbei Oats was rated as a key leading enterprise in agricultural industrialization.
“In order to grow natural oats, he chose a completely original planting method without pesticides and fertilizers. In the pursuit of high yields today, at the beginning, his colleagues laughed at him as a retrogressor in agricultural development.”
After untold hardships to grow natural oats, Li Gangling encountered another problem-oat processing. “Each oatmeal must be natural. It does not add any additives while ensuring no loss of nutrients, easy dissolution, and good taste.” Li Gangling said, this is his requirement for high-quality oatmeal.
Since no pesticides and fertilizers are used when growing oats, no additives and auxiliary materials can be added in the process of processing oats, so as to ensure the true natural health of oats. “It is necessary to maintain the natural nutrition and ensure that the oatmeal is easy to brew and taste good. This poses a great challenge to the technology. Because the conventional processing method of oats is to process oatmeal with high-temperature maturation production equipment at one to two hundred degrees Celsius. , But in this way, the nutrients contained in oats will be severely destroyed, a lot of nutrients will be lost, and the taste of natural oats will disappear.
In order to solve the processing problems, Li Gangling successively built its own oat processing plants in Inner Mongolia and Shandong Mengbei, and set out to break through technical difficulties. “Leading a team of more than 20 people, using more than 5 tons of oats, finally developed a new technology of C4 ultra-low temperature preservation nutrition, which completely solved the global problem of nutrient loss during the processing of oats.” “Many people did not understand him at the time. , I think it is unrealistic for him to blindly pursue natural health and give up commercial benefits.
Nowadays, the oatmeal processed with the new technology of C4 ultra-low temperature preservation nutrition not only retains the 36 precious nutrients in natural oats but also is very easy to dissolve. The natural wheat aroma after brewing is very strong, and it tastes refreshing. Soft, smooth, delicate and smooth, every bite is the taste of nature, a good nutritious breakfast for the whole family.
Each grain of oats is selected extremely rigorously before it can enter the production line. Small and not full oat grains will be screened out, and finally 6 grains with germs are selected from 10 grains to be processed into high-quality oatmeal. breakfast.
It is understood that there will be some fine awn hairs on the upper half of the raw oat grains, and if these fine awns are not subjected to a harsh soaking and scrubbing process, people with poor gastrointestinal conditions will also cause discomfort. “We will add a cleaning process after selecting oats. This cleaning is not a normal cleaning. We call it bathing and rubbing the oats.” By giving the oats “soak in a bath for half an hour and then rub the bath”, then proceed again. The process of wiping and air drying basically guarantees the cleanliness of each grain of oats. “This process alone will reduce the weight by five or six catties per hundred catties, but I will stick to this self-made process.”
After the cleaning process, these oats have to be manually broken before they can officially enter the cooking process using C4 low-temperature technology. “Oats are extremely nutritious but the shell is hard. The body’s gastric enzymes cannot be digested and absorbed, and eating too much will cause discomfort. “Li Gangling said that breaking the wall is also a technical task. The oat germ has a high nutritional value. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the wall is broken completely without damaging the germ and nutrition. It is necessary to retain the high dietary fiber and nutrition on the oat skin.
On May 14, 2018, China’s first natural oatmeal was born, and it took seven years.
Mengbei, to create a healthy food enterprise dominated by natural oats, to serve the health of all people and benefit human civilization as the eternal mission of the enterprise.
Li Gangling said: Food nourishes our lives and nourishes our bodies. We must return food to its original taste and health. We should respect nature, follow nature, return to nature, return food to the original, and follow the concept of natural and healthy food that combines nature and man. From the source of planting to the process of processing and production, healthy foods that are conducive to the health of all people are the foundation.
Make food with green mountains and green waters, and make agriculture with green mountains and green waters.
In 2020, Mengbei oats became the designated product of the 14th Winter Games, providing healthy oat breakfasts for more than 5,000 national athletes during the competition; in 2020, Li Gangling was awarded the honorary title of “China’s first natural oatmeal” by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. ; In 2020, Mengbei Oats donated a total of 4.03 million yuan to Hubei to fight the epidemic three times.
Mengbei Oats is a natural oats company with a global layout and a full industrial chain layout. Pursuing the brand focus strategy of “focusing on natural oats and healthy foods”, it will provide high-quality oats healthy food to everyone, and is committed to creating the world’s top Chinese oats healthy food Gold brand.
Mengbei concentrates on making natural oatmeal health foods, firmly believes in rejuvenating the country by industry, and firmly believes that only healthy food can bring human health! In the fickle market in the future, Li Gangling said that he will never lose his “focus on health” when he founded Mengbei The original intention, mission and source of motivation for “career, serving the health of the people”! Truly for a healthy China, and forge ahead with ingenuity! (Liu Yingjie Liwei)
