Just finished eating a pile of raw sugar snap peas, pods and all. Sweet and crunchy! ^

Also a personal early summer favourite, minus the pods...Salted radishes, possibly dipped in melted butter have great taste too.

If I must eat vegetables, I far, far, far prefer them raw. I can't think of a single cooked vegetable that I like. I can at least tolerate many raw ones.

Onions? Garlic?

I don't like garlic, cooked or raw. I've heard you either have the garlic gene or you don't. As for onions, I certainly eat them raw on my hamburgers, in salads, etc., but not by themselves.

My dad always liked turnips when we were little but I hated the taste of them. I never had a raw one, though. I think I'm going to give them a shot next.

Red onions are best raw - white and brown are better cooked.

I hate celery raw, can just about eat it when cooked.

Love raw potatoes, I eat them as I'm prepping them for cooking :o

I'm with you on that. Celery is just one of those vegetables that doesn't appeal to me, unless it's dipped in peanut butter for some reason.

Just had an entire package of sugar snaps for an afternoon snack. Yum

I'm about the opposite, I love steamed veggies. I love that it just melts in your mouth when you bite onto it. The only thing I eat raw is fish, just about obsessed with raw fish (ate it everyday for about 6 months then realized I could die from mercury poisoning, lol).

@lancebanyon, I use to eat celery with Nutella, was great. 100 calories per stick, break down: 110 cal for Nutella, -10 for the celery stick ;)

for some reason i'm afraid of eating green beans raw. as a kid my parents warned me to never eat string beans raw because the ends were poisonous but for some reason that fear has carried over to anything string bean like..

I basically eat a large (full meal size) salad every day. Nothing better than picking raw veggies from the garden. Picked tomatoes today!

Sounds like a nice deal. You grow your own garden?

Tonights dinner was a salad of thinly sliced raw heirloom zucchini with some good olive oil, lemon juice, parmasean, salt, pepper, fresh basil, and topped with chopped almonds. Super simple and a favorite when the local zucchini are in season. Yum.

I'll eat raw carrots all day long. There's something so enjoyable about that crack and pop when you bite a crisp, wet carrot. Mmm I want a handful right now.
