BROCCOLI MIND BLOWING TRUTH BOMB:\r
The idea that steaming broccoli is better for you is a common misconception. Several studies have shown that while cooking can degrade some nutrients, it can enhance the availability of others. As a result, no single cooking or preparation method is superior for preserving 100 percent of the nutrients in a vegetable, and that includes eating vegetables raw. Boiling has been found to be better for carrots, zucchini and broccoli, than steaming, frying or serving them raw. Since the best vegetables are the ones you will ually eat, taste should be the defining for when you decide on a cooking method.\r
The best way to get the most out of your vegetables is to enjoy them a variety of ways -- raw, steamed, boiled, baked and grilled. If you eat a variety of fruits and vegetables on a regular basis, you dont have to worry about the cooking method.\r
