The word Avena has roots in both Spanish and Italian, where it means “oats”—a humble yet powerful grain that has nourished people for generations. In Genesis 41 in the Bible you’ll find the story of Joseph—a man living among people who don’t necessarily share his values or his God. But through wisdom and discernment, Joseph distinguishes himself and becomes an interpreter of dreams. With God’s help, he is able to accurately interpret the Pharaoh’s dream, instructing the Egyptians to stockpile grain for a forthcoming famine. As a result, Joseph transformed the Pharaoh’s troubles into a wake of blessing for all people
