Broccoli

Both broccoli and cauliflower have a high concentration of substances called oxalates. What oxalates do is hinder the absorption of iron by the body, a phenomenon that decreases when cooking food. Be careful not to cook them too much to avoid losing nutritional benefits of broccoli but do not leave it raw if you do not want oxalates to prevent you from having good levels of iron in your body.

Potatoes

Solanine is not only present in eggplants, also in immature tomatoes or potatoes. This toxic substance is very harmful to the body but is inactive with cooking so do not play it and before eating raw potatoes (in case it had ever crossed your mind), stew them, fry them or cook them that are much richer and do not pose any danger to your health.
