can you eat this raw?

Yes. Soak 1/8 -1/4 cup of the grain in quality water from 7am until 4pm. Rinse the grain well. You need a very special strainer (Bouillion) to do this because teff is a very tiny grain. Let the grain drain overnight (also known as sprouting) and the next morning eat it raw with some raw milk, raw honey, and a banana. My quality water is filtered water (no chlorine or flouride, etc.) to which I add some Ocean Solution (92 minerals).

I don't believe so but maybe it won't hurt you. I cook 2/3 cup of teff in 2.5 cups of boiling water, turn down low, cover with lid, stir occasionally, for about 15 minutes.

No. I cook it and add it to recipes that I'm making. I also use it to make muffins in place of oat bran. Follow the directions on the package for grain to water. I cook mine in a veggie steamer. It comes out very thick, while it is still hot, I add more water until I get it to the consistency I want. It sort of has a nutty taste. I buy the dark brown. I personally like this with sweetener on it.

Really don't know. I always cook and eat as breakfast cereal with lots of fruit, etc. Don't know if it takes cooking to bring out the nutrients. Might want to call Bob's Red Mill and see what they have to say! Tastes great cooked though. Maybe sprinkle raw on a salad?

I have no information on whether this would be medically inadvisable, but I think it would be pretty tough and unpleasant. I never even thought of trying it.

Yes,, I add it plenty to all my salads, seeds are tiny small, almost tasteless, I add lot of them because of the nutritional value

yes you can. I would not advice eating it, only because it will turn into a mouthful of flavorless gelatine.hope it is a hit, send me pictures!

You can eat it any way you like. Heck, I eat it by the spoonful. I do use it for bread baking, but it would be good over oatmeal.

Yes you can. You can also eat it. It is antifungal and antibacterial. Us it as a makeup remover. Don't get it in your eyes.

No. Never tried raw chicken but should cook fine if it is fairly flat. (Raw steak cooks perfectly)

Bake into bread, put on salad or any hot meal, sesame chicken. you can toast or eat raw.

Yes you can. Just make sure everything is fully cooked all the way through. I'd use a meat thermometer just to be on the safe side.

I believe the packaging and company says that you can. i have not tried it.

Yes, it is raw. If it is cooked, it will loose its resistance starch properties & cause blood sugar to go up.

Yes you can eat them, but they are very pricey just to eat, plant them and then enjoy a much bigger crop this fall.

Don't buy! It is raw food not oil. I made the same mistake. Ate some and threw away 99 percent off it. It is not oil.

I believe I read that they said you can have one raw vegetable, but for cleanses you should not eat anything solid at all. One of the main points of a cleanse is to give your digestive system a break. If you are eating veggies then your body has to digest whole foods again

Must be cooked first because they are poisonous when they are raw. Please be careful and simmer 20-30 mins first!

Potatoes can absolutely be eaten raw. There are no side effects- it's all about personal taste. But for the sake of consistency, yes, parboil them at least. We made our own "Pringles" style chips. MUCH better and MUCH healthier. ;)

You could do that. I just kept it in the refrig and it was fine for 4 months due to the salt content. Just ate the last of it 2 days ago. Still had good texture, though some of the skinnier ends were dry and had to be cut away.

In a word, no. You can eat them right out of the bag. But remember not to eat more than 10 - 12 a day to avoid toxicity.

Probably raw in a salad but I steamed my zucinni for just a couple of minutes. I spiralized 4 good size zucini's and put a little spegitti sauce on it. My family and friends loved it. There are endless possibilities. Carrots either raw or steamed. I also purchased the rescipe book for future references.
