Is rolled oats acceptable in the raw diet?

Most oats are not raw due to the steaming they undergo in the manufacturing processes. Occasionally I will eat raw oat groats (particularly in the winter) for breakfast. Some people have a hard time digesting them though.

I use raw oat groats in the winter as well... It's great to make 'oatmeal' on a cold winter day with warm water, and tea on the side.
I am in northern Canada though! (o:

I was wondering about the raw oat grouts--I have then but don't really know what to do with them. Could you soak them to make them more digestable? Or what about just throwing them into a smoothie?

I used to have Raw Oats in Green Smoothies, but worry with
rancidity. No Raw Foodist would consider Rolled Oats as a Food.
It does make good Glue. LOL. I know one person who has cooked
Oatmeal in smoothies. My 88 year old mother 'swears' by her
oatmeal every morning, so it can't be all bad......WY

No, no, no CC. I didn't mean Whole Raw Oats,
I meant Rolled Oats make a nice Glue. Cook some and let
it all sit out overnight and you'll see what I mean. It's
a sticky Mess.
I have quit using Whole Raw Oats, but if anyone wants to
try them, a good source is RawBakery.com. Their 'Really Raw
Oats' are even Sproutable, a true test for raw......WY

Ohhhh I understand what you mean WY... I remember when I was really young we used to have a nanny who would make oatmeal that was very much that consistency. I remember being fascinated by the fact that no matter how hard you shook the spoon you could never get it to come off LOL

I agree with Phantom...raw oatgroatmeal is the way to go!!! They're super easy to sprout when fresh. You can find them, along with tons of other sproutables at: [www.sproutpeople.com]

Enjoy!!

i use rolled oats in a porridge
-- soy milk, cinnamon, a little sugar, vanilla, and a touch of salt
heated in a pot raises the energy levels over the winter weeks
