wellness-nexus: The proper fruit and vegetables preparation

In order to maintain the maximum amounts of nutrients in the food, it's important that during the preparation of food you preserve certain rules:
Fruits and vegetables should be washed thoroughly before approaching further processes - peeling, cutting, cooking and more.

If you want to retain vitamins B and C, the food must not be sinked in the water. The vegetables and fruits should be washed, before peeling in order to eliminate vibration and dirt, that would otherwise be transferred to the part that is eaten, and then peel, cleaned and re-washed. Since the vitamins are also found under the bark, so peel it only if it is necessary, and you will not lose the valuable vitamins from the vegetable or the fruit, and if you need to peel, then peel it very careful, and peel only thin crust. Potato peeling is best done with fine wire ware (which is only used for cleaning vegetables and fruits) or cook and bake with shell. Carrots, too, should not be peeled, but gently scrubbed with wire brush for vegetables.

When we cut and peel the fruits and vegetables, we need to use sharp knife, because, if we work with blunt knife during the peeling or cutting, we are shatter the tissue, which leads to destruction of vitamin A and C. Fruits and vegetables should be taken raw, as a salad, or you should prepared it just before eating, because, the cut fruits and vegetables lose vitamins with standing. Do not throw out the outer, rough, leaves of lettuce, because, it's richer in vitamins, calcium and iron than the inside leaves.

Parsley and celery leafs are added to the meal (especially the soups and chowder) only when the boil has stopped, and when the meal is removed from the heat, because we don't want to destroy vitamins. Before stewing the onion, we put it in the cold oil and little water, and we are adding the water gradually until the onion is softened. Fruits and vegetables should be stored immediately upon purchase in the refrigerator, because the heat dehydrate it and the vegetables and fruits lost their freshness.
Freezing of the vegetables and fruits is better than using a canned or withered fruit and vegetables. Freezing it retains the nutrients and energy value that existed at the time of cooking and freezing. During the processing of the frozen food we do not need to defrost the ingredients previously, but they must be putted in cold water and gradually heated.

When cooking use less water, lower heat and cook food as short as possible. It is recommended to use the dishes made of stainless steel or enamel with double bottom. Cooking on teflon, copper and iron pots destroys certain vitamins and minerals. Do not throw the water in which vegetables are cooked, use it for making soups, sauces, beverages. Using of baking soda during the cooking of the vegetables it's not desirable, because it destroys the vitamin B1 and vitamin C.
Prepare and cook the meals for the day, because after 48 hours, cooked food loses its bioenergetic value. While preparing food, be in the mood and happy, and love the things you do, because you will add big amount of love in the food you make. It is said - Love is the most important spice and seasoning, without it the meal does not taste good.
