Post subject: It's more ideal to eat fresh vegetables as they are, right?

I think we touched on this in this forum, but I want to ask again to remember what we discussed. It's more ideal to eat fresh vegetables as they are, right? Like make salad?

Yes and no...

Any boiling of vegetables will result in some loss of nutrients.

However, obviously some vegetables are pretty inedible if you don't do something with them (eg. potatoes). Isn't it the case that aubergine is slightly poisonous if not cooked, or have I just imagined that?

Yeah, some vegetables need to be prepared in a certain way.
