Short answer, yes: Oat grains are de-husked, then heated and cooled to make oat groat--the most "raw" form you can buy. Groats are then rolled by machine or cut (steel cut). Rolled oats are okay to eat raw--they have been minimally processed making them more digestible. That being said, rolled oats eaten without further cooking will taste "green" and have a grittier chewing texture. They are healthy as are cooked.
