UAB Medicine Dear Doctors, Are raw vegetables healthier than cooked vegetables? Answer:

It depends on the vegetable and how you cook it, but no, raw vegetables are not always healthier than cooked vegetables. Unfortunately, the pros and cons of eating cooked versus raw vegetables are not clear cut.
