It can take a long time to chew a big salad, particularly when it contains hard vegetables such as carrots and broccoli. Many times, folks are in a hurry and simply do not chew the produce well. If we do not crack open the cell wall of the food, we cannot retrieve the good nutrition inside. Chopping the salad into tiny pieces gives you a head start on chewing, and offers a great taste, as the flavors have already started to mingle from the processing.
