Orc.
Yeah
ok thanks
Solanine and lectins.
raw starch tastes bad
The nutrients are less bioavailable, meaning you get less nourishment from the tuber.
>Raw food has tons more nutrients than cooked food
>It's not as bioavailable
>Cooked food loses tons of nutrients
>It's a lot more bioavailable
How do you know the latter is better than the former in the end?
um it's called science, gay
Raw potatoes have toxins which will make you piss and shit and fart out all the "extra" nutrients they have.
food loses tons of nutrients
That's not exactly true, although it depends on the cooking method. High temperature roasting will destroy more than steaming. I've only heard that vitamin C is the most susceptible to damage from heat though. I think being able to eat more cooked food probably makes up for it too, like I don't think you'd be able to eat that much of a raw potato but eating more cooked potato means you get more nutrition overall too.
What if I just sludge potatoes or whatever in a blender, uncooked? Really easy to glug that down and possible digest too? Working on the assumption that heat is the primary destroyer of nutrients.
That increases the bioavailability a bit. I've read that wheat flour has more calories than an equal amount of whole wheat berries because grinding is a form of predigestion. But I think raw starch is still going to be harder to digest. There are enzymes in your saliva to help break down starch too and if you're not chewing your food to mix with that it's also going to hamper digestion. Fermentation increases bioavailability without the use of heat which could help. But cooking is just another type of predigestion that breaks things down on a chemical level unlike blending which would only be mechanical so they probably work to increase bioavailability in different ways.
Insightful, no really. I mark this post to be without irony or mockery.
Salmonella
E. coli
dont forget about tetanus and aids
the heat of the stomach acid cooks the potato
I always have a nibble of some raw sweet potato when I prepare them
doesn't taste as good as cooked
It will ferment in your stomach and give you alcohol poisoning
You make it sound like it's a bad thing.
texture
I tried raw potato once and had horrible firehose shits
peepee and poopoo but mostly poopoo
