Avocados - Minerals and fiber in avocados can be lost during cooking. Nonetheless, avocados can still be cooked (even though you might prefer them raw, anyway).

Berries - Not only are these nutritionally awesome, they are also delicious and versatile. They're best eaten fresh, frozen, or dried.

Olive oil - Olive oil is packed with vitamin E and antioxidants, which may be affected by heat. It is, however, safe to cook with it.

Lemon - Lemons are rich in vitamin C and fiber, which are nutrients that can be affected by heat.

Coconut - Raw coconut not only tastes great, but it's also good for you. Coconut water is also a natural source of electrolytes, so you really can't go wrong with it.

Carrots - Cooking may help with the absorption of beta-carotene, which is then converted into vitamin A. But eating carrots raw will still be beneficial.

Spinach - These leafy greens are packed with vitamins C and E and fiber, as well iron, potassium, and magnesium. Exposure to heat may affect these though.
