Raw Dangers: 5 veggies you should cook before you crunch
1/5
Colocasia Leaves (Arbi leaves)
These luscious leaves, commonly used in some traditional dishes, can actually contain oxalates which can trigger kidney stones. But fear not, cooking them properly can significantly reduce oxalate levels and make them safe to eat.
2/5
Cabbages
Crunchy cabbages are delicious in salads and sandwiches, but they can also contain harmful bacteria like Salmonella or E. coli. A little heat can save the day – just make sure to cook them thoroughly to steer clear of these unwanted guests.
3/5
Spinach
Popeye's favorite might not be yours when raw. Spinach can sometimes host E. coli bacteria, leading to stomach cramps and more. A quick cook not only keeps the E. coli at bay but also releases more nutrients for you.

Capsicum
Those colorful bell peppers we adore? They can sometimes bring unwelcome guests like pesticide residues, like tapeworm eggs in seeds. Cooking them can help reduce these residues, making your peppers safer and healthier.
5/5
Brinjal
While eggplants can be heavenly when cooked, their raw state contains a substance called solanine which might not sit well in your tummy. Boiling eggplant not only neutralizes solanine but also brings out its delightful flavor.
