What vegetables are good to eat raw?
Hey ever since going raw, I haven't been eating a big variety of veggies. I feel like i should be consuming more. I do get a variety of greens. What are some good veggies that are easy to digest raw? So many vegetables seem to be hard on digestion. How can I get that variety I used to have.

Personally I love my cucumbers (really a fruit), zuchinni, and bell peppers of all colors. Tomatoes (again a fruit) is really easy to digest for most people as well as celery (good for building HCL to help with digestion. I would (for a while at least) go clear of cruciferous veggies like cauliflower or brocolli (again those are fruits too) but you know what I mean. Hope this helped! :)

how do you define a green like parlsey as a herb, just because it has a nice flavour??...i thought that was the principle behind choosing the best food in that chart?
i think greens do me good yet i don't see many "good" ones on the list.

Some of the stuff said in that chart I am cool with, but other stuff is just ridiculous. Bitter greens, toxic? Zucchini difficult to digest? Roots, low in nutrients? Ginger, toxic? Herbs!? not digested well and irritating? I'm sorry but that one is just crap :)

Thats cool! I mean imagine if we all agreed on the same thing. How boring would that be aye? I am coming from a herbal medicine backround and personally I am having good results. So please be compassionate with me :)
Lots of Love

interesting chart, but I wouldn't use this as a sole reference. some of the conclusions are debatable / controversial.

ok, but we have to consider that before our senses were so corrupted by modern lifestyles, our idea of what "bitter" is or what any other desirable characteristic in a food really is may have been completely different. What we may consider bitter now may be very attractive to a pure body which required whatever constituent may have been embodied in such a wild green for example.
And, are we sure that we need to get back to 100% of whatever our true nature was? Most details of modern life seem to fly in the face of what we would have dealt with many thousands of years ago. Do our bodies need more comprehensive support than an original diet (whatever that means...) could provide? The fact is we do now have food science and we will have to make smart choices on what we learn. I'm not convinced its a bad thing to incorporate scientific understanding into deciding what to eat today.

really? roots will grow in our stomachs when we eat root veggies? haven't heard that one before....

I agree. I find a lot of things tasty now which I never would have done a year ago before I started my raw journey.

Totally with you on this.
Cruciferous vegetables bad for you because of the cellulose content? Spend time chewing your food to break down the cell walls. And to say they taste bland? Raw Cauliflower has a wonderful lightly peppery taste, and raw broccoli is just as tasty (not to mention the anti-cancer properties of brassicae).
Sprouts low in nutrients? Roots low in nutrients (root veg has a high mineral content, especially when organically grown, and great as a food for those who have kicked the smoking habit)?
Herbs not digested well? There goes thousands of years of Chinese medicine...
