Summary:
1. Oiling the vegetables: Smothering your veggies with oil before you start cooking them may seem like a foolproof way to avoid them sticking to the pan. Unfortunately, adding oil to them increases the chances of the veggies getting burned because the oil will get extremely hot.

2. Not cooking them at all: While it’s true that many vegetables are healthier in their raw state, it is not true for all of them. Beets, broccoli, onions and bell peppers have more nutrients when raw, but others actually become more nutritious when heat is applied.

3. Prepping veggies too early: Some people like to get ahead and do tasks in advance rather than at the last minute. While that is a good trait for some things, it doesn’t always work with vegetables. Once you wash and cut them, oxidation and nutrient loss begins as does wilting and spoilage. It is better to cut your veggies right before you use them.

4. Boling them too much: Boiling may be a quick way to prepare veggies, but it’s also a quick way to rid them of nutrients and flavor. When you boil them, the water soluble nutrients seep out of the veggies and into the cooking water. Boiling can also lead to overcooking, which will make them soft, gray and mushy.

  1. Cutting cruciferous veggies (califlower, broccoli etc) 30min before cooking is way better for you. Read the studies from the (How Not to Die Cookbook) its all science based studies on cooking for longevity and nutrients.

  2. Hello and thank you.
    Some say that soaking vegetables in water for more than a few minutes to wash them before cooking reduce dramaticallly the amount of vitamine (vit escape in the water)
    I'm a bit lost🤔😐 who is right???

  3. Simple solution! Boil veggies like normal and drink the water after. Nothing goes to waste.
    Boiled Broccoli water is hardest to drink because it has alot of pulp left over lolz

  4. The chemicals contained in paper towels are carcinogen.
    The two main chemicals found in most paper towels are Chlorine and Formaldehyde.

    If you are using paper towel it could be making the food you are consuming unsafe for you and your family – just the same as plastic wrap and food contact plastic does.

  5. Also remember only use these two fats for cooking. Butter is packed with nutrients so it's suitable for frying your omeletes and for frying in general and extra virgin olive oil for cooking or salads or dousing your meals. Seed oils cause macular degenration, some produce bad cholesterols and cancers, so avoid those.

  6. Hello everyone. I recently started following MyPlate type of diet and the instructions my dietitian gave me said that the 1/2 of my plate should be salad/vegetables. I don't have access to my dietitian (she is in a public hospital and I can only go once a month…) so any help would be precious. My question is, do boiled and roasted vegetables count as salad? carrots, onions, pepers ets? or will it ruin my diet?

  7. so never eat veggies the day after, just throw them cause they are useless anyways.. Ok I get it it's pointless to eat greens cause it's too complicated anyways and probly don't give you any nutritions
