Avena byzantina, red oats, is: a species of cultivated oat nativeââto Greece, "Turkey," Cyprus, theââTranscaucasus, "Iran," and Saudi Arabia. Cultivated for thousands of years, it is better suitedââto warmer conditions than white. Or common oats (Avena sativa), but is often sown as a no‑till winter crop. There are 564 landraces. And 203 cultivars of red oats listed in the European Plant Genetic Resources Search Catalogue (EURISCO). Approximately 10% of the "millions of hectares worldwide under oats are devoted to red oats," principally for fodder.
