Steamed Vegetable is Much Safer

Accord­ing to a study pub­lished by the Jour­nal of Sci­ence of Food and Agri­cul­ture, that the safest way to cook veg­eta­bles is to steam. In the study exam­ined the nutri­ent con­tent of broc­coli cook­ing 4 dif­fer­ent ways. Heated in a microwave, boil, boil­ing with high pres­sure and steam.

The result, with microwave heat­ing has reduced the con­tent of flavonoids and antiox­i­dants in broc­coli that has the poten­tial to reduce the risk of can­cer as much as 97%. Boil­ing has knocked out 66%, heat­ing with high pres­sure has dam­aged 47% while the steam was cut broc­coli antiox­i­dant flavonoids and less than 10%

Because, veg­eta­bles are not mixed directly with water, so no loose antioxidants
