I would love to start eating more raw food in my diet, but I don't want to stop eating cooked food as well. I love some of it too much. This is a great resource, I'll be checking it often, thank you

Yes, I think it's hard to eat raw 100% of the time, but it feels good to eat a portion raw, at least. I'm such a veggie person as it is. Do you all notice feelign better even when you don't eat 100% raw?

I always eat a raw carrot while I'm preparing veggies to cook. I love raw carrot and my teeth fell great when I'm eating it. I love salads also, and would much prefer to eat salad with a main meal, than to have cooked veggies. I've never eaten a raw potato, or bean, or broccoli or cauliflower though. I like raw spinach!

You haven't had those raw yet? You gotta try them. The broccoli and cauliflower make great salads also!

Raw potatoes are toxic, you should avoid them."All potatoes contain substances known as glycoalkaloids. The most common in potatoes are solanine and chaconine. Light reacts with these substances to turn potato flesh green. The green parts of a potato are a guide to where these substances tend to accumulate which is just below the potato skin. Ingested in large quantities these toxic compounds could lead to coma or even death. In smaller quantities the most likely effects are diarrhoea, headaches and stomach cramps. Fortunately these toxic substances are eliminated by thorough cooking. Solanine is the toxic substance found in deadly nightshade which indicates the potential seriousness of eating uncooked potatoes which are, in any case, hard to digest and unpleasantly flavoured. The only recent cases of solanine poisoning lined to potatoes have been the result of drinking potato leaf tea or green potatoes. When potatoes trun green it is an indication of higher concentrations of solanine and these parts should be cut out or the potato discarded without eating even after it has been cooked." http://www.blurtit.com/q587628.html Do you find this valuable? |
