Steaming - The Healthier Alternative to Boiling
As a general rule, vegetables that are cooked for the least amount of time, at the minimum-possible temperature and with the minimum amount of water, retain their nutrients. This is exactly why steaming is better than boiling most vegetables, as in this cooking method, they are not actually coming in contact with the water.
Stir-frying vegetables is another great way of cooking your vegetables, as it uses a minimum amount of oil or fat and retains all the essential nutrients as well. Also, stir-fried vegetables taste much better than steamed, boiled or blanched veggies. Another great way of making sure you do not throw precious vitamins and minerals out is to bring the water that you use to boil vegetables to use in dishes. This water can be used as vegetable stock in meat dishes or in making soupy noodles.
So, the next time you cook vegetables, make sure you do so in a way that retains all the good stuff!
To make this healthy delight tasty, our recipe has a tangy twist of lemon paired with butter and our very own FOREVER STEAMED VEGETABLES MASALA.
