Why do we cook food?

Dear Student,

Following are some advantages of the cooked food-

1. Cooking denatures proteins and breaks down starchy plants (tubers) into simpler forms (sugars).  In this way, cooking improves our ability to digest and receive nutrients from the food we consume.
2. The lethal bacteria and other organisms that may cause infection and harm the body are killed by cooking food at higher temperatures.
3. Cooked food is tastier than raw food.
