 How much nutrients are lost when cooking vegetables ?
In consuming food, it is better to eat cooked food. but, some Water-Soluble Vitamins Are Lost in
the Cooking Process
In fact, Boiling vegetables may reduce the content of water-soluble vitamins by as much as
50–60% ( 7 , 9, 11 ). Some minerals and vitamin A are also lost during cooking, although to a
lesser extent.
Grilling is one of the most popular cooking methods because of the great flavor it gives food.
However, up to 40% of B vitamins and minerals may be lost during grilling or broiling
Microwaving is an easy, convenient, and safe method of cooking, Short cooking times and
reduced exposure to heat preserve the nutrients in microwaved food (9Trusted Source, 10Trusted
Source).
In fact, studies have found that microwaving is the best method for retaining the antioxidant
activity of garlic and mushrooms (11Trusted Source, 12Trusted Source).Meanwhile, about
20–30% of the vitamin C in green vegetables is lost during microwaving, which is less than most
cooking methods

How to get the maximum
nutrition from cooking
vegetables ?
Since vegetables don't come in contact
with cooking water during steaming,
more vitamins are retained. Dry
cooking methods such as grilling,
roasting and stir-frying also retain a
greater am ount of nutrients t h a n
boiling. But as long as you consume
boiled vegetables along with the boiled
water, the nutrients you will get will be
maximized

effects of eating raw
vegetables ?
consuming raw vegetables is good and
maximizes the nutrition you get. However,
not all vegetables can be eaten raw, some
vegetables require a cooking process to
break down the proteins present in
vegetables. Some vitamins such as vitamins
A, E, K must go through a cooking process
so that they can be digested by the body.
even some plant foods can be poisonous if
eaten raw
