I still have some raw buckwheat noodles left in my fridge. Has anyone ever run uncooked noodles under hot water and consumed them? If the water temp was at an acceptable level, it would still be considered a raw dish, no?

You might have trouble digesting it, however. Any floured product, even from a seed like buckwheat, really needs to be cooked with moisture and heat to make it digestible.

Tamukha is right. All grains, in whatever form, need to be cooked for safe digestion. "Quick Cereals" are usually pre-cooked and dehydrated for quick re-heating, but all grains (including flours from grains) need to be cooked. The safest way to eat grains "raw" would be sprouting. The second method would be roasting them (Dextrinize - spell??). Lastly would be cooking.

Hope that helps. =)

Thank you for the replies. I did eat the last bit of it using the method I described, but don't plan on doing it again. I didn't notice any digestion problems.
