Which vegetables are more nutritious when eaten raw?
Updated | By Poelano Malema
Did you know that the way we eat our vegetables, either raw or cooked, has an impact on the nutrients we receive from them?
Broccoli
Broccoli has an enzyme called myrosinase. This enzyme cleanses the liver of carcinogens - a substance capable of causing cancer. Cooking broccoli deactivates this enzyme.
Red Peppers
Red peppers have Vitamin C. However, when you cook or boil them, the Vitamin C breaks down.
Celery
Celery has many health benefits, but it loses its antioxidants when boiled.
Carrots
Cooking carrots destroys the polyphenols chemicals which help prevent cancer, high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes.
