I like to eat raw oats. I take the oatmeal before you put hot water on it and I eat it with a spoon. Not the flavored ones either just plain Oats.
Do you think it's normal?

Never tried that before, not sure if I want to. Oatmeal is a terrific food to eat to curb your appetite and for energy. I used to have a small bowl adding boiling water to it, in the early morning, and it would hold me off until dinner and stop my craving for food during midday.
oatmeals really good for you...so i guess eating it raw isnt so bad right? but i dont know doesnt sound good to me. kinda dry dont you think? but whatever floats ur boat
I dont think I would like that maybe the flavoured ones but definately not plain
You will be shitting muesli bars if ya keep doing that.
i put milk in my oats lol
I've found that with some sugar and milk, raw oatmeal is rather tasty.
At the very least, you'll be very regular.
They would make me gag, too dry.
SO DO I. Its awesome!!
wouldn't that make you thirsty
I found an enjoyable way to eat raw oats because I cannot stomach the texture of eating mushy cooked oatmeal. I typically eat my non-fat vanilla yogurt with a scoop of uncooked raw oats and mix in some raisens and almonds or walnuts....what a great combination and great way to get some fiber.
ive done this too, it makes your mouth all dry and gooey
I do this every morning but I add water and a few dollops of yogurt and some sultanas. LEave the boel in the fridge to soak a few minitues and then eat it. THis way its slightly sweet and a bit soft. Very delicious. And totally healthy.
Oats are very good for you and the fact you like them the way you do is some what normal! Look at it this way, you are not getting any sugar or any other stuff that has preservatives in it so it is probably better for you!
Do you sleep in a barn?
Raw oats are delicious, horses eat it that way, I don't see why we can't. I like eating sometimes, it's like chewing on a really healthy trailmixture, lmao. I also use that when I have the flu and want to vomit, it'll stop the reaction and it calms your stomach, but also stops dry-heaves.
Wow What comments, Eating Raw oats is healthy, the less processed a food is the better, thats why the raw foods diet is so healthful, and it also is vegan. I have always hated cooked oatmeal and have been eating oats raw for some time. Recently I took unflavored oats and added some vanilla soymilk and about a TBS of Maple Syrup. Maple syrup is a great alternative to sugar because it is less processed than sugar, and hence better for you, it is still better I've heard than the Raw Sugar types.
I ate raw oats the whole time I was in the police academy and everyone thought I was a wierdo for doing it but I heard it helps your stamina during a run
I've never tried that, i've only ever had raw oats with milk. never tried it with plain ones ethier. I've give it a shot. Mabey i'll like it.
i do that to, its well fine!
i like to do that with flavored oats and milk, it keeps me full much, much longer.
Raw Oats aren't raw - they've already been heated to stabilize them. I use untoasted oats as a base in Mueslix and I use plain organic yoghurt as the softener add nuts , seeds and fresh berries or raisins.outfreakin standing. I'm an endurance athelete( cyclist) and this will fuel you a LONG time
Someone ate raw oats on the train and this man could not get over how weird that was.

It's not common but it's really annoying that you eat healthy stuff and people look at you funny but somehow eating burgers and other horrible stuff like that seems so normal for those people and they won't think eating that is weird.
It's awesome! Raw Oats with cinimon and honey. If you want is hot then add a pat of butter nuke it for 30 seconds and stir. good stuff.
Moo! No - actually, that's pretty cool.
I love raw oats. The porridge thing totally ruins it.
horse
MEEE TOOO IT TASTE GOOD
Yeah it does but i still find it tasty
Erm... Yeah, Normal for a complete twat
If you're craving raw oats,flour, or other odd foods, it could be a sign of low iron. If you just like to eat raw oats on the other hand, there's nothing wrong with that. My sister actually is anemic and eats raw oats frequently and her cholesterol level is extremely low!
blahh..... you guys would enjoy the wilderness therapy program foods
I eat it and LOVE it. I keep a bag in my drawer at work and munch on it all day long.
haha
me too!
but i add milk in it =D
I make my butt eat raw oats too. I shove them up there and then go for a run so it can burn off all the carbs it just scarfed down...what a pig my butt is.
