Hi Iwm31,
From what I understand is that raw veggies (especially the leafy ones) can be hard to digest due to some protective coating or something they naturally produce. A quick blanch or steam will help remove that coating but still keep a lot of the enzymes alive (or so I've read). I think raw is always better but if you have gut issues then for digestion lightly cooked might be the answer. Hope that helps!

Hi lwm31,

I have a suggestion that does not involve cooking.
Have you ever juiced?
Here's a link that contains lots of good information on juicing:

The Food Program.. working file thread:

More information that you may find helpful when selecting fresh organic produce:

I hope you will find the information helpful when deciding what to do with all the great organic produce. juicing is a great way to get maximum benefits from vegetables and fruits.

Enjoy your new found organic co-op!
