Boiled Vegetables Are Impotent
Boiling vegetables drains them of nutrients, states a new British study.
Scientists cooked broccoli and cauliflower using a variety of methods and then tested each for glucosinolates — plant compounds that may help prevent cancer.
While steaming, stir-frying, and microwaving had no impact on these chemicals, boiling reduced glucosinolate content by 90 percent.
Hot water damages cells in vegetables, allowing the nutrients to leech out. [source: Men's Health]
