•How foods are cooked can have a big impact on their nutrient content. That is because many vitamins are
sensitive to heat and air exposure (vitamin C, the B vitamins, and folate in particular).
• In moist heat cooking methods, liquid or steam is used to cook the food flavored liquids, such as broth or wine,
can be used as the heat transfer medium and will also add flavor during the cooking process.
•1. Blanching- vegetables are briefly put into a saucepan of boiling water and timing begins immediately. To
stop the cooking and set the color ‘refresh’ vegetables by immediately draining and plunging them into ice water.
•2.Boiling – you have up to seven minutes before there is a major color change, so timing
everything.
•5. Streaming- a large pot and simple streamer basket are the tools needed to cook vegetables with this
method.
•DRY HEAT METHODS
•1.Broiling- the heat source is above the food, making this a great
technique for blistering the skins of sweet peppers or chilies for easy
peeling and a smoky flavor.
5. Stir frying- basically, this technique is similar to a saute, but vegetables are cut into smaller pieces.
Use medium high to high heat for quick cooking and toss often.
•PREVENTING NUTRIENTS OF VEGETABLES
• 1.Leave vegetables in big pieces. That way fewer vitamins are destroy when they are
exposed to air.
• 3. Use any leftover cooking water for soups and stews, sauces, vegetable juice drinks.
• 4. Eat fruits and vegetables raw whenever possible in salads and smoothies or as
whole fruits and vegetables
