Safe Eating Raw OatMeal?

[evilution79]

Is it safe to eat raw uncooked oatmeal or oats? I ate some raw oatmeal to see how it tastes and i like it. Thought I might bring it in a ziplock bag and eat is as snacks, like sunflower seeds.

I don't see it as being harmful. I have heard of others doing it. If that is the way you like it, go for it. Oatmeal is one of the hardest things for me to get down

I used to do that sometimes when i had no time to cook it i'd just slam some in a blender with some whey and water.

I always have my oatmeal raw w/ milk like its regular cereal. Havn't had any problems.

I find it easier to take if you add more water and/or milk to make it thinner. If it's too thick, I can't take it either. Plus I mix it with protein powder.

If I can eat Birdseeds straight from Petco, then you can eat Raw Oatmeal.

if you can choke it down go for it. eating it uncooked can also lower the GI and GR of the meal depending on what else is eaten.
