Re: Why do I cook vegetables?

Plant cell walls are made of cellulose, which is very difficult to digest which is why we cook things, break cells apart allowing the goodness to be extracted in the gut more efficiently.

Having said that raw veggies are nice!!

Carrots are nice, broccolli stork is scrummy, raw mushrooms with salt and worcester sauce are to die for sometimes!!!
