Don’t you love it when you spend so much of your life being told that cooking vegetables destroys the ‘goodness’ and that raw veggies are best?
Now, we are seeing studies that are showing that many of the nutrient qualities of veggies are actually being ‘released’ and eating cooked vegetables is actually better for you!
Frankly, I am not surprised!
“They” did give ‘frying’ vegetables a bum rap… but I am sure the data will show that the ‘missing’ healthful qualities of vegetables were merely released into the sauce rather than being ‘destroyed’ in the frying process. If in fact this is the case… then frying may actually be a preferred method of extracting nutritional elements from vegetables… besides the side benefit of improved taste!
