Everything in a can is cooked. The process involves being heated in a pressure cooker and held at above boiling temperatures for a length of time. So it definitely passes the cooked test. But even if it didn’t water chestnuts are also fine to eat raw. So if there are still any left feel free to finish off the can.
I was thinking more if they’re ok to eat raw like cabbage cooked or raw good. Potatoes cooked yes. Potatoes raw no.
