in Introduce Yourself
Hi guys. New to this. Only found MFP today. Doing ok as have lost 22lbs prior to this with gym and weight watchers ready meals. Looking for snack ideas but HATE fruit. Love veggies. Just wanting to know if it's safe to eat broccoli and cauliflower raw (washed first obviously) or must I blanch it?

    Salad bars serve it raw all the time.
    I actually prefer it raw.

    Unless you have a thyroid issue - there should be no issues :) They are super tasty that way!

    (Broccoli and Cauliflower and Cruciferous veg, or Goitrogenic & can cause enlargement of the thyroid - Cooking well can help minimise this effect to some degree, but even then they should still be limited :) )

    Darn, I thought this was going to a thread about Marathon Man.
