Is eating raw oatmeal okay? I can easily eat it faster than when it is cooked..

Hey Max, yes you can eat raw oats. Most of the oats that you see out there are not really raw. Oats are a very soft, moist grain, and they go rancid quickly, so manufacturers steam them at about 212 degrees to set the flavors so they won't go bad. I do this all the time when I'm rushed in the morning. Though I don't eat them just like that, I add them to my protein shake raw.

No problem in eating them raw, however watch the gas as eating them raw can cause a little GI unrest in many people.

if i can eat them raw...i can easily down an extra 300-600calorie from oatmeal...cooking them makes them too filling...
