I love cabbage raw and thin sliced as a side, or cooked with liver onions and bacon.

I love iceberg lettuce with just balsamic vinegar

I love sweet potato, kumera, just as it is, maybe a little salt.

I love broad beans fresh from the stalk, crack the pod open and go for it.

I love carrots straight from the ground, just brush them off.

I love okra cooked and as slimey as you can get it.

I love caped goseberries and green plums and fejoas and tamarillos

You're not special or cool or given a second chance if you dislike certain foods, you're a small monster, a precious fool, a dainty idiot. Your bad opinion is worth no ones time,

I will sit down with a whole fennel bulb and eat it straight and you will not stop me

Every radish I’ve had is too spicy for me to enjoy. What’s my loving problem?

do a quick pickle, fresh pickled radishes are great. slice them up and stick em in a jar with
1 cup vinegar, such as white, apple cider, or rice
1 cup water
1 tablespoon kosher salt, or 2 teaspoons pickling salt
1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)

and put that in the fridge for 2 days. then eat em on salads or just as a snack. you can re-use the brine a couple times.

I also do that with red peppers, because raw red pepper gives me heartburn if I eat more than a little bit. Which I hate because I really love red pepper on salads etc. A quick pickle is like halfway between raw and cooked.

Have you tried the roast red pepper in a jar? Does that bother you?
It's not fresh but I love big honkin' slabs of that on sandwiches or just straight outta the jar as a snack.

yeah, those are good! though a thing I found about those is that they go bad pretty fast after you open it. So you gotta eat a whole jar in a week or so, which I guess isn't a problem if you eat em as a snack.

also, those are cooked and I like the bite of raw red peppers. quick pickle stays fairly crisp. plus I like the vinegar.

Its generally minimal (pointless breakdown here) and if you have a sane varied diet it means nothing how you process foods.

If you have to pickle or ferment a vegetable, it should no longer be considered "raw".

Also green potatoes are historically a source of poisonous alkaloids, but must commercially available cultivars do not. So please feel free to eat a raw green potato from the market, but not one you dug up in the Andes.

it's true but not like 100% universal.

some of them, like vitamin C, are almost totally destroyed by sustained heat.

at one point in history people discovered that lemons and limes cured scurvy. then that knowledge got lost because the british navy was using barrels of juice that were processed by cooking, and everybody got scurvy again. so they were like, welp that proves lemons and limes weren't the cure, we can stop sending out these juice barrels. so a hundred years after we discovered the cure for scruvy and got it under control, people were dying of it again.


other vitamins often get reduced by cooking, but cooking also increases the amount of nutrients your gut can adsorb from food so it may be a wash. and if you're cooking veggies more lightly, like stir-fry or something rather than cooking them to death, there will be plenty left.

check your grocerys healthfood areas for sugar-free peanut butter because not only is it better for you the peanut taste is stronger and more delicious. found sugar-free peanut butter blended with coconut oil and that was good too
and theres a fair chance of it being discounted for sitting on the shelf so long

at the college cafetaria there was a peanut grinder for this but it was a little gritty

I developed an allergy to birch pollen when I reached my 30s and it's hosed with my ability to eat all fruits and vegetables raw without getting an itchy mouth and throat. What I can eat raw changes throughout the year so it's always a surprise. Sometimes a banana is fine, sometimes it isn't, sometimes it's fine as long as none of it touches my lips. My latest allergy is to raw sugar snap peas, which is a loving travesty. Vinegar helps to stop reactions from happening, so using salad dressing makes it possible to eat raw carrots. Speaking of carrots, the itch only starts after I stop eating, so I can plow through an entire bag of baby carrots before having a reaction. I'm not at risk for anaphylaxis so sometimes I just power though because raw fruits and veggies are amazing.

Why is eating raw bell peppers considered strange or weird or even gross? I eat them and they taste lovely and cucumbery. They go well with rice too.

Is this a genetics thing like how cilantro tastes like soap to some people?

My old boss back at my first job used to walk around with a raw carrot like Bugs Bunny. He would hold it like a big cigar and chop it sometimes. When asked about it he would always say that Arnold Schwarzenegger said in an interview that eating a lot of carrots gives you a toned core but looking at him I don’t think it works

I always connected raw with stuff which is dangerous to eat uncooked like meat or eggs. I guess maybe for an onion or potato it be fitting as they'd suck to eat uncooked.

Don't people eat most of their vegetables uncooked anyway? Salads are good and carrots, celery and cucumbers are a great excuse to eat a poo poo ton of dip like hummus.
