A member asked:
Are leafy greens healthier cooked or raw?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Raw: Leafy greens are best because cooking denatures the enzymes in the plants to some degree. It is more difficult to digest them however, because cooking helps with that. You might consider a raw salad and par-boil for other meals. Peace and good health.
