Quinoa flakes - do they *have* to be cooked?

[Tinkjon]

I make porridge for ds with a mixture of oats and quinoa flakes. He doesn't eat it, but bear with me Too long and boring to go into why (to do with re-heating formula), but it would help me lots if I could sometimes give it to him 'raw' and just stirred in with milk and not cooked. I know uncooked oats are fine, but I'm not sure quinoa... can this be eaten uncooked? The consistency is fine, that's not an issue, but I'm thinking food safety wise... thanks in advance!

No, they are edible uncooked as flakes, but obvs harder to digest as they will be harder and more chewing as you know, but as long as he doesn't mind that, he is safe to eat it!

Thanks shrooms! I've whizzed them up in the blender so they're not so large - they go to the consistency of sawdust like that.
