Four vegetables and fruits that should never be consumed raw.
They are home to parasites and bacteria like E.coli or even tapeworms and tapeworm eggs.
If they enter our gut and bloodstream, or even enter the brain, they can cause serious diseases like cysticercosis, seizures, headaches, damage to the liver and even cysts in the muscles.
Number one is colacia leaves, also called arbi ka patta.
Always blanch them in hot water before using them in your diet.
The same rule applies to spinach and kale. Blanche them in hot water because they're linked to high oxalate level, which reduces when you blanch it.
Number two cabbages.
They're notorious for harboring tapeworms and tapeworm eggs, which is invisible to the naked eye.
Some of these tapeworms have survived some of the harshest insecticides and pesticides, so your vegetable washes are too mild for them.
Blanche your cabbage in hot water and then cook it well before vou consume it.
Number three capsicum.
Remember to remove the crown, deseed the capsicum and run it under hot water, because the seeds can also be home to tapeworm eggs, which survive inside the fruit.

Number four aubergine.
The seeds are again home to tapeworm eggs.
Remember to cook it really well to kill these parasites, tapeworms and tapeworm eggs from entering our bloodstream. In fact, aubergine is such a complex vegetable that many households in India don't bring this vegetable at home.
Remember, prevention is always better than cure.
Doesn't matter what cooking methods you use boiling, blanching, steaming, cooking - please ensure to cook your foods at least lightly before you consume them.
Here's to healthy living and a healthy you.

Dear all
Here is a simple rule: Cook all your foods.
Humans are the only social animals that went through a civilisation process and learned how to grow and cook their own foods. We cook foods to make it edible, healthy for the gut and our body.
Our ancestors mastered these cooking techniques for different foods groups based on their experience and innate need for survival when they couldn't depend on external help to heal or revive themselves.
The food packaging industry took it too far by processing and pasteurising all our foods with chemical substances, stripping away natural nutrients, killing the good bacteria, and allowing these chemicals to enter our bodies causing grave damage to our health. But in an effort to correct, we have gone the other extreme with raw foods. Not everything that grows is fit to be consumed raw.
Plants, animals, and even human bodies are home to trillions of bacteria, and even parasites. Foods must always be cooked and never consumed raw. Leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables are home to parasites, worms that thrive on these plants for nutrition. Just like how plants nourish us, they nourish these organisms also.

If plants had no living organisms thriving on them, it's evidence that's it unsuitable for human consumption or it has been sprayed with harmful pesticides that makes them even more unhealthy.
Organic or not, all foods must be washed and cooked properly to get rid of parasites and digestion.
Use simple cooking methods - boiling, blanching in hot water and then soaking in cold water, steaming, lightly cooking, sauteing are healthy ways to consume foods.
Here's to healthy living and a healthy you!
