But would you eat chilli peppers like how you'd eat other fruits and veggies? Say tomatoes or beets. No. ofcourse not.

- OJFord 4y agoI eat raw but pickled chillies far more frequently than raw tomatoes. (I never eat raw beetroot so I'll leave that, though I'm surprised people do. Or are 'beets' not beetroot?) I eat raw and not even pickled chillies in salads or on the side of a plate of other food at least as much as tomatoes the same way. More often pickled, but that's largely for convenience, in no small part for extra vinegary flavour, and not really at all to make them more mild. But I already said that above and you clearly don't believe me. I don't think it's uncommon either, fwiw, I'm not at all claiming to be unique or anything like it.
- gumby 4y agoWhen I was a kid we use to eat them by plucking them from a tree, dipping them in salt, and then devouring them. It was just something people did.
- idkwhoiam 4y agoWell you don't eat potatoes raw do you? Nor do you eat an eggplant raw and many others. I don't understand the argument here
- labster 4y agoEggplant and potato are aren’t fruits. Chiles are fruits, and most edible fruits are eaten raw.
- wintergrasp 4y agoEggplants are fruits, in biology definition
- martyvis 4y agoRaw potatoes are risky because of toxins that can be present.
- jiggywiggy 4y agoYeah some people do, in asian cultures it's not uncommon. Actually they eat it more like an apple than a beet. It was my grandma favorite snack. The hotter the better. Conditioning is very powerful.
- tsimionescu 4y agoI don't know what you mean. Raw chillis are commonly served in this area (Eastern Europe) together with soups, just like raw onions, for example. However, I've never seen anyone eat a raw beetroot. And of course, people don't put tomatoes in fruit salads, as the old saying goes - different fruit are eaten in different ways.
- martyvis 4y agoRaw beetroot is actually a great salad vegetable. We have it grated sometimes. Some can be a little earthy and have a bit of heat like radish or ginger.
- mnw21cam 4y agoHad raw grated beetroot in my salad today for lunch, and very tasty it was too. I pulled it out of the ground five weeks ago, weighed 1.4kg - it's the purple-and-white stripey version, makes the salad quite colourful. Been cutting bits off it to grate every time I have a salad. For some reason, beetroot seems to keep extremely well in the fridge.
- jiggywiggy 4y agoBest to do when fresh. Most when store bought are a few months old they are a lot tougher and harder to digest.
- mnw21cam 4y agoOh, I started when it was fresh. It takes a while to munch through a 1.4kg root. And it actually seems to be remarkably unaffected by time, so far. Probably only a couple more salads left in it now.

- johnatwork 4y agoYes I do, and most Koreans do too. We dip raw peppers into a hot pepper sauce. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-bwUP77ElM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-bwUP77ElM
