Guest guest Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Hi , It's fine to eat raw meat. It won't hurt you or hinder your progress. As Bee has said slow and low heat cooking is best, but I don't imagine you would eat it every day, right? So on those rare occasions, enjoy! Group Moderator > > Hi Bee and All, > Can I eat a classic steak tartare, carpacchio or ceviche? > I read on Bee's website that meat cooked low and slow is best as I have been doing for 14 months now. However steak tartare is simply devine. Is it damaging/not useful to eat raw meat? I can't seem to find a consensus on this after reading Nourishing Traditions and Nutrition and Physical Degeneration. It is clear that native people ate raw meat but only when they did not have the resources to do so. Would the cell walls of the raw meat open in the presence of stomach juices for nutrients to be made useful? > Many thanks, > , UK > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protein is made up of molecules linked together in chains. Cooking them actually starts the digestive process by unwinding or unfolding the protein molecules, called denaturing, which is what our digestive system does as well. Another way to start unfolding is to soak raw meat in an acidic medium like lemon juice or apple cider vinegar - see marinade recipes on my website - which actually cooks them too. But it is okay to eat meats raw if you like them. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
