So having them raw is not a good idea?

Yes that would be right and not good idea to have your oats raw you be best to cook your oats.

Raw oats are fine (i.e. not cooked). Lots of people on here have them that way - usually mixed in a protein shake.

Cooking them just makes them easier to ingest

I eat them both.

A cup of rolled oats (nice and hot) followed by 5-6 weet bix (cold milk)

And of course that protein shake to finish off with.

They are lower GI eaten raw, the GI seems to go up when cooked. They are STILL LOW GI when cooked, but offically they are better for you if on a low GI diet eaten raw.

I buy Haraways too!! Is that weird so many of us eat the same brands?

I find it easier to throw a cup of oats in a blender, raw, and drink em down - if you were to cook a whole cup by the time they expand etc you end up with a BIG bowl full that fulls you right up! Does anyone else notice this?
