Let me summarize the differences between raw and cooked foods for you. I hope you’ll enjoy it, guys and at the end, let me know how you usually eat them
Vitamin differences:
Raw milk retains 5–10% more B2 and B12 than pasteurized milk
Raw meat has 10–40% more B vitamins (especially B6, B12, folate) than cooked meat
Raw liver contains 15–30% more B12 and folate than cooked liver
Vitamin A (in liver) is heat stable loss during cooking is minimal (10–15%)
Vitamin C present in low amounts, decreases by 10–30% with heat
Protein differences:
Cooking concentrates protein due to water loss
Raw meat and liver: 20 g protein per 100 g
Cooked meat and liver: 25–30 g protein per 100 g
Milk: protein remains unchanged (3.4 g/100 ml), raw or pasteurized
Fat differences:
Fat content is mostly stable during cooking
Some fat may melt/drip out in cooked meat/liver, slightly reducing total fat
Raw and pasteurized milk both contain 3.6 g fat per 100 ml
Mineral differences:
Minerals (iron, zinc, calcium, copper) are heat stable nearly no loss
Iron in liver: 6,7 mg/100 g, same raw or cooked
Calcium in milk: 115 120 mg/100 ml, unchanged by pasteurizatio
Enzyme differences:
Raw milk contains enzymes deactivated by pasteurization
These enzymes have negligible nutritional value
No critical enzyme difference in meat or liver

Vitamin differences:

No critical enzyme difference in meat or liver
Raw versions contain slightly more heat sensitive vitamins, but differences are small (mostly 10–30%)
