Is it healthy to eat raw steel cut oats

Define healthy: Eating them raw will mean you will not derive many nutrients from it and it will not be very palatable, but there are no known harms in doing so. Whole grains should be a part of everyone diet unless you have an allergy. Also consider organic spelt, millet, and amaranth known as the ancient grains.

Yes for most people: No food is good for everyone & paleo diet advocates advise avoiding all grains, but most nutritionists consider oats quite healthy. Re: raw oats, they are safe though some people have trouble digesting them. Also, most uncooked oats are not actually raw as they are steamed during processing! see http://prettysmartrawfoodideas.Wordpress.Com/2009/04/09/are-the-oats-you-are-buying-raw/ & my comment:.
