Contrary to popular dietary dogma and the emphasis on raw plant-food based diets, most vegetables are better served cooked or at least fermented. Vegetables can be powerfully rich sources of antinutrients including oxalate and goitrogens - both of which can be mitigated to some extent by light cooking.Raw vegetables are also bulky - providing a lot of volume but very little nutritional density for that volume which is why reliance on animal foods is essential.In general, raw vegetables are probably best kept to a minimum or served fermented. When serving them lightly cooked, serve them with ample fat to facilitate nutrient absorption or serve them in broth. According to Dr. Price the best vegetable to eat raw would be lettuce.

I have been wishing for a breakdown of veggies that are more suitable to be eaten raw compared to those which need to be cooked in order to maximize nutritional absorption. Is this something you've provided, or would you be willing? Jenny,

I'd read that it had a high smoke point so it wasn't destroyed as much during cooking. Can someone clarify why grapeseed oil isn't a good cooking choice? Thanks!

Would that be considered schmaltz? I never know whether to use it or not. If I do use it, how is it best used?Thanks for the post!
