Thank you, we have some very talented chefs from all over the globe. Yes, there are many different health benefits between cooked and raw foods. Certain micronutrients and vitamins can be destroyed in the cooking process, and others sometimes become more easily absorbed by the body after cooking.

I eat a mix of raw and cooked foods to get the best of both worlds. Of course there are some foods dangerous if not cooked properly, cassava leaves being the main one we consume here in Suriname. There is cyanide in the leaves, but if properly prepared, these leaves are one of densest sources of protein you can find in leafy greens.

I curate #vegan, #vegetarian, plantbased, and #foraging tags for the Natural Medicine Community, would love to see some recipes from you, but do remember the most important tag, #naturalmedicine so that you can earn LOTUS, our tribe's token.
