Are Oats Raw? 

So most oats come uncooked but are they raw? Some of them are but most are not. Regular rolled or instant oats used to make oatmeal have been steamed and then further processed to make an oat product that is easier to cook and that will get softer and creamier.

Oat groats, on the other hand, are nearly entirely unprocessed and are the oat grains pretty much as they come off the plant. This makes me curious about another question … 

Are Oats a Seed or a Grain?

Oats are a grain. Grains are the edible fruit of a grass. Even though oats can be sprouted (if they’re whole oat groats), they’re not seeds … Seeds are embryonic plants that are covered in a seed coat.

Are Raw Oats Good for You?

Yes. As a grain with a hard coat they can be hard to digest but they’re full of soluble fiber, protein, and healthy, complex carbs. In this recipe, we pulse the raw oat groats in the food processor until they’re slightly chopped. This helps with making them more easily edible and digestible.

They stick together really well and even better once chilled in the fridge. You don’t have to, but I like them better chilled myself. Make these in the evening and let chill in the fridge overnight and they’re a perfect, healthy summer breakfast or snack.
