Eggplant is one of the vegetables that should not be consumed raw. About this “Moscow 24” said nutritionist, doctor of medical sciences Mariyat Mukhina.
“Raw eggplant contains high levels of solanine. “The person who consumes them may experience symptoms such as stomach pain and nausea,” warned the expert.
“Also, you shouldn’t eat raw asparagus,” the doctor continued. He explained that uncooked asparagus will be poorly digested by the body, so the beneficial substances in it will not be absorbed. Another vegetable on the list is spinach.
“Still, heat treatment is recommended. Although this reduces the amount of vitamin C, calcium, magnesium and iron will become available. They are found in raw spinach as organic bonds and are not released; the body cannot absorb them. Therefore, it should be consumed only in processed form,” concluded Mukhina.
