Which ways are the best ways for cooking vegetables and preserving the vitamins, nutrients inside?
The best way to cook vegetables and preserve the vitamins is to either steam them or blanch them. You can steam them either way. Both work just fine. To blanch: drop your veggies in boiling water. After about 30 to 45 seconds, remove them and place them in an ice bath to shock the veggies and retain their color. This also helps stop the cooking process to maintain their nutrients.
