What are “naked oats”?

Here is a little bit about naked oats:

"Oats are very hardy and easily grown at home, however, there really isn’t an easy way to dehull them at home. But there is a relatively new variety of oats out which makes this a thing of the past. Naked hulled oats have no tight hull, so simply threshing them as you would other grain leaves them clean and ready to roll or grind. "

I got that from here:

Several people on this thread and the first one discussed reading Jackie's stuff. She is awesome and that's where I first read about naked oats a while back. I got a blank look when I asked about them where I live... but this town has less than 1000 population so that may be why.

I would also really appreciate it if you could find out how we might be able to get them. thanks!
