I do not know for certain if they are healthier or not but I have also heard that. I do eat some raw veggies like calaflower and carrots. I like them with ranch dressing dip.

I just use Ranch Salad dressing (Wishbone, Kraft, etc...)and dip the raw veggies into it. Hope that you like it if you try it as it gives the veggies a entirely different taste!! Have a great day!!!

i love garden fresh salad...like a bowl of lettuce, cucumber, celery, olives, apple, mandarin orange, hard boiled egg, bacon bits, shredded cheese with lite ranch dressing. or a good side dish for crispy chicken wings are veggie sticks.... carrots, celery, and zuchinni dip with sour cream. the only thing that is best eaten when cooked are tomatoes as to make use of the lycopene. since uncooked or raw tomatoes won't exert the useful lycopene though.

what ever things which can be taken without cooking is our primary foods ,firstly fruits then it will be followed by raw vegetables then nuts.we have to eat veg raw how you think our primatives has liveed,in fact humans started eating cooked foods after lot of yrs after their evolution. it is healthy wholesam which will give vitality ,energy,disease free creative energy life.also these foods has got life factor in it means if we allow them to sprout it will grow new life will be formed from that .cooked food eating after three hours of cooking will lose this life factor .try to take food with in threee hours you can feel the change in your health.if you eat raw things you will become more creative .try eating friuis for two weeks .first two or three days you may feel bit tired the body has to adjust after that you can feel how your body is saying thanks to you.eat fruis alone dont add wiht veg.

I think it depends on how you prepare the food especially vegetables . There are some nutrients that need to be heated for its properties to come out.

I prefer to eat peas and carrots raw, I think it is a shame to cook them as they are better for you raw and they taste better any way, I don't know why people cook them, these things seem to lose the sweetnes when they are cooked.

carrots are good when raw but sometimes we have to cook them also especially when we have to add them in any dishes.
