Detailed explanation-1: -Steaming veggies can preserve nutrients, color, shape, and texture, without having to add any unnecessary fats through ingredients like oils or butter. To steam, place food into a steam basket and cover over simmering water. Since food is not directly touching the water, vegetables retain more of their nutrients.
Detailed explanation-2: -Steaming vegetables has been found to be one of the best ways to cook. A 2009 study prepared broccoli using five popular methods-boiling, microwaving, steaming, stir-frying and stir-frying/boiling. The study found that steaming kept the highest level of nutrients.
Detailed explanation-3: -Choose to steam, bake, grill, braise, boil or microwave your foods, rather than deep fry them. Use non-stick cookware. Microwave or steam your vegetables instead of boiling them to retain the nutrients.
