The answer can be either Yes or No, depending on the state of your gut health.

Let's see the benefits of cooking vegetables like- cabbage, brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower etc :-

📍These vegetables contain sugars (raffinose) that are hard to digest for some folks. Cooking helps make these sugars easily digestible.

📍They also contain sulfur containing compounds(glucosinolates) which are responsible for the pungent aroma & flavour when eaten raw. Cooking/blanching helps in removing these compounds.

📍They have high content of insoluble fibre, cooking also helps in breaking them down.

📍Cooking these vegetables also releases Indole, which is an organic precancerous cell fighter.
