I'm not positive on this, but I believe raw oats digest just a bit slower. Somebody jump in if this is incorrect as I'm basing this on what seems logical, not facts.
gbrice I agree with your logic
also, is eating raw oats ok for you? like straight out of the packet?
Just eat them however you can handle them.
Real men eat raw oats downed with raw egg whites !
But seriously:
Yes raw oats digest slower. Carbohydrates are water-soluble, so they will be able to breakdown slightly before engulfed in bile from your stomach. Is this difference noticeable ? Probably not, but to get a scientific answer you'd probably have to find a research article or ask a Nutritionist.Quote:
