Cooking time of vegetables

The best way to eat vegetables is for them to still be raw in order take advantage of all the nutrients they contain. However you can also take advantage of many of its nutrients if you boil them. When cooking vegetables vitamin C is lost, however the vegetable still have other valuable nutrients. When you cook white vegetables add a few drops of lemon or vinegar to the water to avoid blackening and a teaspoon of flour that will not oxidize and retain its salts and minerals. To ensure minimal loss of nutrients don't let that water reach the boiling point, it must not exceed 90 °, if it comes to a boil the water, pour cold water in order to reduce the boil. Since nutrients are lost in cooking water, you could use it to make soups, purees and so you can make good use of it.
