Nutrition Project

So I have a nutrition project with a case study of a woman who is a strict vegetarian. We get bonus points for creativity of the 24 hour meal plan so I figured why not put her on the raw diet.
So I was curious if whole oats could be eaten at all, of course they have been soaking just in cold water for an hour.

Theoretically oats can be soaked and sprouted, but most of the available oats are not sproutable, so probably would not count for raw.

Should you find true raw oats, soak for 8-10 hours, in 2-3 times the amount of water to oats. They'd sprout in 3 days. 1 cup oats would yield 2 cups sprouted.

We love raw soaked oatmeal, it is delicious (if only it was available...). Never buy commercial oatmeal, it must be freshly ground. The fats easily go rancid once it is ground, so only use it fresh.
