How do I retain the green color of my veggies while cooking

don't cook it too long and add salt if you boil/steam it. that's what i do to keep it green. hope this will help..

Hi you should not overcook the veg - like you say if you dont over cook them already then why not try dunking them in ice water as soon as they have come out of the steamer / water this will stop them cooking anymore and should help to retaine the colour of the veg good luck xxx

I find that if i cook my veggies in the steamer they do stay fairly green,but ive just answered another post that talked about kitchen gadgets and i said that the nly thing with using the steamer was that it did make more work...cleaning the steamer out after use etc...but if using a cooking pan for the veggies a pinch of bicarbonate of soda added to the water definately helps the veggies stay green....but you only need a small pinch...
