Do you know that the process of heating brings out a lot of chemicals and physical changes in your food? When the food is cooked, both its texture and taste changes. The reason why we cook food is to make it digestible and edible. Atoms and molecules packed compactly in the solid raw food loosen up when heated. But have you also heard that when some foods are cooked they lose their nutritional value? It is because of their exposure to heat. So it is recommended to either eat them raw or a little sauteed.
