I like cucumber to be eaten raw, and mixed them with salted fish (I don't if you are familiar with that). I prefer eating the rest of the vegetables cooked or half cooked.

I usually wash my veggies before cutting them. I use cold water. I accidentalyused hot water and it seemed to me that the cold water they remain crispy. Certian veggies i want cooked and others are good cooked or raw.

I love raw vegetables - either combined in a salad, on a veggie platter with dip or just a handful of carrot sticks, celery sticks, radishes, mushrooms or something for a fast snack. I have always encouraged my girls to eat raw vegetables daily by including them in their lunch bag. Their favorites are carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, cucumber, green peppers and mushrooms. I don't mind cooked vegetables but I generally only steam them because I hate when veggies are mushy. I love to fill my steamer with combinations like cauliflower and broccoli or green beans and baby carrots. My favorite cooked vegetable (and most people say "yuck!" LOL) is turnip. My mom taught me to cook it and mash it with butter and brown sugar and it's wonderful... I could sit down and make a meal of that alone LOL

Hi, tuyakiki. I like eating vegetables cooked or raw. I like to eat raw veggies with salad dressing. I love dipping them into the salad dressing. I also love steamed vegetables too. This is very nutritious.

I love salads!I have a salad with my meal just about all the time. Yes, I like the raw vegetables. I like onions but they don't like me, lol, so I take them without the onions. I don't really care for beets, either. I like my salads mixed with carrots, radishes,cucumbers, tomatoes, and any other kind of raw vegetables. In other words, I buy the bagged lettuce that has different kinds of vegetables mixed in with it. I also use different kinds of salad dressings but I especially like Catalina. I also like to put different kinds of nuts and sunflower seeds on my salads. Kathy.

I must say yes. My wife and I are in vegetarian diet right now. She's in this absurd thinking that she is getting fat. I really don't think so. But to make her feel better, I agreed to be one with her in her endeavor. We toss salad everyday! We especially love tomatoes and onions. Cucumber yes. I like that one too. Actually, vegetarian or not, I do eat veggies. It doesn't matter if it's raw or cooked. But if it is cooked, I would love it half cooked. I really don't feel comfortable eating a soggy string bean. So it really has to be half cooked so it could retain it's crispiness. =p

Raw vegetables are good for health. I sometimes eat raw carrots but would like to increase the habit. I also like vegetables slightly fried, like carrots with onions, potato with onion and eat them along with rice. vegetable soup is also great. I like many vegetables in sambhar(south indian dish).

I do like vegetables raw. I love a good salad but I also enjoy cooked vegetables. I think that the raw ones are actually better for you because their nutrients aren't all cooked out. Steamed veggies are good for you too.

I like both ,fresh vegetables colorful salad or vegetables cooked with chicken or rice.I know raw vegetables are good for health ,vegetable soup is also very nutritious. I like to make salad using carrots ,beetroots ,cabbage ,cucumber ,tomatoes and sometimes shredded chicken and pepper . Before cutting vegetables i soak them in water for several hours to clean them . Good discussion !!
