Does Cooking Vegetables Destroy Nutrients? How to Cook Veggies Properly
Vegetables are packed full of health-promoting nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals.
The nutrient content can vary not only on the kind of vegetable, but also the way in which it was grown and the way that we cook it.
Of these, we have the most control over how we eat it - raw, lightly cooked through a variety of methods, or heavily cooked.
Cooking can alter the chemical composition of foods. This can lead to certain nutrients becoming more bioavailable and others breaking down or leaching from the vegetable into the cooking water.
Certain vitamins are water soluble, so these vitamins can leach from veggies when cooked in water, such as boiling.
On the other hand, some studies have found cooking to increase the antioxidant activity by freeing the antioxidant compounds.
Yet other studies have found a decrease in vitamin C from cooking, which is an antioxidant.
Here are a few examples of the conflicting evidence:
Case Study - Summary - This study found that, for red peppers and antioxidant activity, dry-heat cooking methods such as roasting and stir-frying retained more antioxidants, and the shorter the cooking time the better.
2012 study published in Preventative Nutrition and Food Science
A study was done on red peppers to determine the antioxidant activity of red peppers following boiling, steaming, stir-frying and roasting for 5, 10 and 15 minutes.
Multiple different healthful compounds were measured, including ascorbic acid content, total carotenoid content, polyphenol content, and radical scavenging activities.
It was found that all types of cooking reduced these measures of antioxidant activity, with boiling reducing them the furthest and stir-frying the least. With every cooking method, the more time that passed the more antioxidants that were lost.
However, other studies have found that the thermal processing of tomatoes leads to an increase of total antioxidant activity and bioaccessible lycopene. A similar finding exists for beta carotene in carrots.
A 2008 study on cooking method (boiling, steaming, or frying) and phytochemical and antioxidant capacity of carrots, broccoli, and courgettes found that boiling and steaming were better than frying at maintaining phytochemical and antioxidant levels.
One study on broccoli found that steaming was more beneficial to maintaining nutrients when compared to microwaving, boiling, or stir-frying.
Conclusion? The best cooking method depends on what nutrient you are hoping to get the most from, and what vegetable you are cooking.
When examined, extended cooking time tends to lead to loss of benefits - so it is likely best to keep cooking time to a shorter duration.
Many compounds become more bioavailable with cooking, so while it is good to add some raw veggies in here and there, overall a short cooking time is preferred.
Overall, steaming is better than boiling as this leads to less loss of water soluble nutrients from the food.
Steam veggies for a short period of time, eat some raw, and make some soups - variety is the best way to get the most from veggies.
Contrary to popular belief - Microwaving does not reduce nutrient value
High Vitamin C, High Vitamin B, Polyphenols and Water soluble are unstable when cooking, so stir fry more than boil/steam, broccoli,
Dry Cooking retains more nutrients for fat soluble vitamins like A, E, D - Spinach, carrots, beets, sweet potatoes, peppers
Contrary to popular belief, microwaving doesn’t kill nutrients in vegetables. In fact, it may outrank steaming when it comes to retaining antioxidants.
A 2009 report in the Journal of Food Science found that compared with boiling, pressure cooking and baking, microwave cooking helped maintain the highest levels of antioxidants in beans, beets, artichoke, asparagus, garlic, onion and spinach. Microwave cooking increased antioxidant activity in eggplant, corn, peppers and Swiss chard. On the other hand, boiling and pressure cooking led to the greatest antioxidant losses.

    Im so confused, you said that in a recent study about broccoli and carrots that through boiling or steaming they retained the most. Then later you say that soft skin veggies like broccoli wash out most of their vitamins since they are water soluble and also that carrots should be cooked dry in high heat due to their fat soluble vitamins. So... should i just stir fry both?

    Hey, Thomas! absolutely love your channel, and pretty much everything you're doing! Keep it up! :) I was wondering if you could do a video covering all forms of exercise/training specifically for the goal of deep ketosis: the effects of weights, HIIT, jogging, walking etc. How the different types affect blood glucose and ketone levels short term and longer term. (personal aim: 1:1 ketone:glucose levels) I know low intensity walking ~30mins is good for lowering glucose levels, but I've heard a lot of benefit to HIIT training (not sure if fasted or unfasted is better) however 30mins post HIIT workout I measured my bloods and my glucose was super high and ketones were 0.2mmol/L; lowest they've been in months. weight training causes a drop in both glucose and ketones, but was a bit surprised at the seemingly negative effects of HIIT and based on my 2 HIIT workouts, I'm not thinking to avoid it; are these changes just short term drops that will result in better levels long term or are my thoughts to avoid it correct? just stick to walking and weights with ample rest b/w sets. Thanks a million yet again for being such an integral part of my keto journey, if there's ever anything I want to know about keto, you're my go-to guy for the info! 😁

Just after, he concludes that the vegetables with lots of vit B and C (water soluble) get their nutrients washed out into the water by boiling/steaming. But broccoli has a lot of vitamin C. So does that vitamin C get lost into the water, or does it retain it when boiling/steaming?

    I've noticed when I boil broccoli the water turns green indicating it's leeching from the food. When I steam I noticed the water doesn't turn green. I'm thinking that steaming in the microwave with a very small amount of water is best then drink the steam water. I'm not a huge veggie eater so I want the most of what I did eat.

    Interesting vid--especially the part about microwaving vs. boiling. I wish you had also mentioned that cooking veggies can also INCREASE the micronutrient content (instead of just doing a better or worse job of preserving what's already there). When you cook cabbage, for example, you can TRIPLE the amount of vitamin K.

    Companies have to cook canned veggies because thats how they extend their shelf life so much. I would also like to know the nutritional differences between canned and fresh food.

    Question for you. From you, from others, I hear the virtues of cider vinegar extolled. I love vinegar. I use it in cooking all the time. But why should cider vinegar be better, say, than red or white wine vinegar? I would be willing to switch to cider vinegar, say, if it were clear that its benefits are greater than wine vinegar...or rice vinegar...or whatever vinegar. But cider vinegar tends to have a particularly strong flavor which is inferior to other vinegars in cooking. Is using cider vinegar so much better that it makes up for the less obtrusive flavors that other vinegars give? By the way, I don't mind a cider vinegar vinagrette, but there are other vinegars I prefer for dressing my salad.

    John Rundin People talk about drinking apple cider vinegar for the acetic acid prior to eating a meal in order to increase the acidity of the stomach and help with digestion / absorbtion. This doesn't have much to do with other vinegars and certainly nothing to do with cooking with vinegar.

    Before you Continue to sie the microwave read the study of hertel from the 90's. They have Two Groups of the same plants. They gave cooked Water to the First group and heated Water from the microwave to the Second group. Thr result was that all plants from the microwave group died in only a couple of weeks.

    The second study includes carrots and says it's better to boil and at 3:32 to 3:34 you mention carrots as an example for stir frying... also i'd say that courgettes (zucchinis) also have a thick skin, but you DID say it's just a rule of thump with exceptions. The taste is probably a good indicator for all of this. Last time i overcooked veggies and they tasted SO dead and bad i couldn't eat them at all... but nice informations and good style of presenting.
