I agree and make myself eat some raw. I just do not enjoy it that much. Some exceptions like cherries. I do like them fresh. And pomegranates too, but both have a short window of ripeness. I have been eating raspberries fresh frozen all winter.Usually with oatmeal in the morning. Blueberries, raspberries, almonds and oatmeal. I have high blood pressure and I’m trying to organically go off my medication. Blueberries and nuts eaten daily have been shown to reduce blood pressure. I have managed to decrease my dosage of meds, but not eliminate them yet. It’s hereditary as both my kids have high blood pressure too. My daughter is a Zumba instructor, and the heavy exercise is enough to eliminate any medication. My son though is on meds too. I’m not complaining, my family is long lived, most of the men in my family live well into the 90’s. My dad only lived to 86, he though was a POW in WWII for 3 years, 4 months, He was in Japan, a survivor of the Baaton Death March. During that time he lost his teeth to malnutrition, had berry berry, scurvy, a tape worm, and malaria. It shortened his life I believe. He was one tough guy, went on to fight in Korea too. Came home and married my mother. Got a job at Fords after 23 years in the military. Passed in 2003, my mom passed in 1986. I miss them a lot.
