I tend to have an allergic reaction in my throat whenever I consume uncooked fruits or vegetables. Now, as this is easily remedied by cooking, I think there must be some sort of protein that is denatured in the heat (and a super-cursory online exam confirms this) but that still doesn't help me if I'm trying to eat a salad comprised of raw veggies. Any thoughts on what sort of things I can do to blunt or remove this effect? I've tried organic v. supermarket, and while it helps some (placebo?) the effect is still there. I'm especially interested in a method to break down the protein that doesn't involve heat. Well, I actually have problems with salads as well.

I'll sit down and eat half of a cucumber and a cup of cherry tomatoes. I'll eat a handful of baby cut carrots and kohlrabi like an apple. I'll eat a pound of asparagus.
