Vegtables

I never knew this, but I have always used the mocrowave for my vegetables. I did it because of quickness and convenience. I never even thought about a nutriental value. Thanks for the information.

We cannot run a microwave. We prefer the frozen vegetables. Many of the vegetable producers can pick them and with the hour have them in the factory being flash frozen. For maximum freshness. A shame that they use pesticides and sythetic fertilizers. We do personally can some vegetables and they are better than the canned goods found in stores that can be too salty etc. Steaming is indeed the best way to eat many vegetables. Thanks for sharing this.

Yaa really, microwave cooking has nutritional benefits. More vitamins and minerals are retained with microwave cooking than with many other methods of cooking. This is because microwave cooking requires a shorter cooking time, covered cooking and little to no water as u,ve alredy stated. Too much water, surface exposure and overcooking can rob foods of nutrients. Another bonus of microwave cooking is that it enhances the natural flavors in food, which makes you less likely to add extra salt or sugar. Since it cooks foods in their own moisture, no added fats such as butter or oil are needed. This keeps natural flavor. The one commonly reported limitation to microwave cooking is that it can’t make a food really crispy. So if you are looking for that crunchy quality, you should broil or bake instead.
