Many Veggies Taste Best Raw

We tend to think that vegetables need to be cooked in some way, but when you grow your own, nothing tastes better than snacking on raw vegetables as you pick.

Of course, this doesn't work for everything, but try eating fresh green beans, peas, or okra raw.

My favorite raw veggies are cucumbers and tomatoes, which I love to slice into a salad shortly after picking. I do have to bring them inside to prepare. They make a tasty and nutritious fresh summer lunch.
