The Truth About Veggies Unveiled
I love vegetables! Even when I was a kid, I would love to eat my carrots, broccoli, spinach, and almost any other kind of veggie you can think of. And I’m sure that most people have heard the same things about vegetables as I have; for example, are fresh vegetables really more nutritious than frozen? Are cooked vegetables really less nutritious than raw? Well one brave author has decided to take on some of the veggie myths we’ve heard in an article on Shine from Yahoo!
According to this article, in some cases, frozen vegetables might actually contain more nutrients than “fresh”. It depends on when the “fresh” veggies were picked as “produce starts losing nutrient quality as soon as it’s picked. Frozen vegetables are flash-frozen right after harvest so they are preserved at their peak of freshness when they are most nutritious.” And in terms of cooking your veggies, their nutritional value after being cooked depends upon the vegetable. One helpful tip the article offered was to “steam or roast veggies instead of boiling, which leaches out water-soluble vitamins into the cooking water.” For more myths un-mystified, see the article!
A really great thing about vegetables and their nutritional values is that they keep you healthy, which means lower rates on your life insurance!
