5. Foods that grow from the ground but are not commonly eaten in their current state:

Foods that grow from the ground but are not commonly eaten in their current state, may receive the blessing of Shehakol. For example, fruits and vegetables that are normally eaten cooked and are better eaten cooked than raw, receive the blessing of Shehakol when eaten raw, and fruits and vegetables that are normally eaten raw and lose their quality when eaten cooked, receive the blessing of Shehakol. [See chapter 12 Halacha 14 and 15]
