Checking broccoli etc.

Question

May I eat broccoli, cauliflower, pees or squash which has not been checked but has been cooked well? (I once heard that once veggies are cooked, they are not as problematic.)

If a products has bugs before it gets cooked, it still has the bugs. Cooking does nothing to help the products, except kill the bugs. Depending on which vegetable, you may be able to clean it under running water. If the bugs are dead, they will not hold on. Please do a search for a specific vegetable and see what we wrote CYA
