When I first saw if it, it was raw. But I recently saw a recipe in which it
was cooked. Was some kind of chicken but can't tell you beyond that because
it wasn't somethng I'd make.

I can tell you that when you bite into what you think is rice and it isn't,
it's a real shock. Daughter and I did this once. Got some salad from a
salad bar. They had what I thought was white rice and I had her dish up a
big bowl of it. Got it home and went to heat it. I thought it looked a bit
funny up close and sure didn't smell like rice! Not really sure what it
was. But probably not meant to be heated. All I remember was that it was
sweet. Daughter thought it was coconut but it didn't taste like that.
