To get something delicious and healthy for the body, it doesn't cost much for vegetarians. Different vegetables are there with no cost, that is why respect for plant is so much high. I believe if we get to know how useful some plants are, we shouldn't get sick, we should be healthy, always. We receive plants from mother nature, to eat and take as medicine, we can eat some raw and some cook
Fruits like banana, orange, pineapple, etc don't need to be cooked, I'll just say most of the foods from tree don't need to be cooked, they can be eaten raw and good for man. Whole foods like yam and others from the ground need to be cooked
