Some foods are healthier raw than cooked, while some foods are healthier cooked than raw. Today I’m going to cover some of each.
Examples of foods that are healthier raw include, broccoli, onions, garlic, and cabbage. Some examples of foods that are better cooked include aspagross, mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, and most meats.
The reason to cook certain foods is to either remove toxins or unwanted chemicals, or to make the good chemicals more exposed. For example, meat needs to be cooked to prevent food poisoning. Meanwhile, garlic looses much of its nutritional value when cooked.
