Guest guest Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Hi Helen, Some people eat just about anything raw. While I like to hear from others, and to read " information " about what the best foods are for us to eat, I also like to use my senses and consider what I might do in nature and what I could eat without " equipment " to process it. I know for sure that fruit appeals to me in many ways and feels good when I eat it. Certain veggies are sometimes appealing and taste and feel good eaten raw. Many I would not desire--for example, I wouldn't want to bite into an onion if I found it in the wild. Nora Lenz has a good chart of optimal foods, if you're interested-- check out her web site at www.rawschool.com. All that said, there are many times I do eat non-optimal foods, but at least I like to know what's best and what I'm aiming for. Hope that helps.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 I think there may be some things that should be prepared a certain way like maybe some nuts should be soaked but as far as veggies, I don't know any that should not be eaten raw. I think maybe potato's onions and garlic maybe could upset someone's tummy if they are not used to eating them raw but I always wondered about green beans because of their tough fuzzy skins. I didn't know how well the body digest them. I am going to buy some today when I get groceries and I am going to see how well they would be in my belly. I personally love them and they would make a great salad. rawfood , " hleva " <hleva wrote: > > Hi, > > I am wondering if there is any veggie that cannot be eaten raw??? > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Since I was a little kid, I've always preferred green beans raw! I think you'll be pleasantly surprised! The only things that I can think of not to eat raw are potatoes and artichokes. But that's just off the top of my head. One thing I've found is that some veggies that I've NEVER cared for (cooked) are fabulous when they are raw!

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Beans are certainly something you have to be careful eating raw, especially soybeans. Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Victoria Boutenko has a potato soup recipe in which she uses raw potatoes. They aren't bad. Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Yeah, which book? Maybe I have it and just overlooked the recipe. I'm curious to see what it's like!

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 I'll have to look. It might have even been in a class eons ago. I've been associating with her for about 10 years now and who knows when I picked up that recipe! Am running off to cater a lunch for 30 folks - 100% raw and 90% organic! We'll see how they like it. Will report back later. Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
