Can I snack on chow chow straight out of the fridge, or is it better cooked?

I've got some chow chow in the fridge, and I'm wondering if I can munch on it raw or if it's better cooked. Any advice on how to enjoy it best? Excited to try it out!

Chow chow is best cooked before eating! While technically safe to nibble on raw, it's a bit tough and chewy. Cooking brings out the flavor and makes it more enjoyable. Plus, some people find raw chow chow a bit starchy and difficult to digest. Cook it up and enjoy!

Eating it cold is perfect for adding to salads. It adds a nice tangy flavor.
