What are the tastiest raw vegetables to eat on their own without dips, sauces etc.?
This doesn't really answer your question but someone said broccoli and I wanted to stop you from that one. There are certain veggies that should not be eaten raw and broccoli is one of them. No cruciferous veggie should be eaten raw. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but cruciferous vegetables should be cooked before eating as they contain chemicals that BLOCK the production of thyroid hormone in your body! Considering that 2 out of every 3 Westerners are either overweight or obese and this is projected to jump to 75% by 2020, this is of particular importance as folks struggling with weight usually suffer from borderline to full blown hypothyroidism. But tomatoes, cukes, and my favorite - orange peppers are great raw. All peppers are okay but orange is my favorite.
