Are raw oats digestable

[sammy555]

I like my oats raw in a bowl with a chopped up bannana. Am I losing any benifit by not cooking them?

Thinking about ti i should have put this in the beginners forum-sorry guys

I eat my oats uncooked all the time, I just chew the hell out of them till they are mush.

Heard someone say it helps for water retention or something like that but not sure if there is truth to it.

I'll mix a cup of oats in my protein shake for some carbs. If I drink it instantly I just have some chewing to do, if you let it chill in the fridge for a bit it's totally drinkable.

I through a cup of oatmeal in the blender with a dozen egg whites or my protein first thing in the morning

People actually still cook their oats? What a strange world we live in

i never cook oats.. i blend them by themself into powder then add the other ingredients and blend them up. no chewing at all.

i prefer the taste of raw oats. Great stuff.

Cooking usually quickens the digestion of grains and vegetables. So raw could be a plus depending on your goals.

I must admit I like raw Oats with milk or in a shake.

Cooked oats take me forever to eat even use spray butter and cinnamon. Definetly just gonna blend them and drink from now on

Cant stand them in shakes,make me want to heave. In a bowl with some banana I could eat all day

What's next, raw grits....

I tried raw oatmeal once in my protein. It gave me a serious buzz.. Or was it a headache??? Either way, I will never try it again. It tastes much better to me cooked with raisins.

I've been eating raw oats in milk like cereal for a while now and I haven't had any problems, other than the increased amount of poop from the fiber.
