Cook Healthily

Cooking healthily is much more than what you are going to cook. The way we treat and cook our fruit and vegetables also matters.

• Heat, preparing time and water are the biggest vitamin killers.

• The shorter the preparing time and the lower the cooking temperature, the more the nutrients are kept.

• The less water used, the less nutrients get lost (except when it is used for a soup for example).

• Most nutrients can be best kept by just eating the vegetables or fruits raw or in a salad.

• Some varieties need to be cooked as when raw they are not edible.
