Save
the Vitamins and Minerals |
|
Store ripe fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator (except for green bananas, avocados, potatoes, and onions). |
|
Store fresh fruits and vegetables for only a short period of time. |
|
Wash fruits and vegetables with water when ready to use, and avoid soaking them. |
|
Eat the skins of fruits and vegetables because they contain vitamins and minerals. |
| The smaller you cut vegetables before cooking, the more nutrients you will lose. |
| Frying vegetables can destroy some vitamins. |
| Steaming, microwaving, and stir-frying are good choices to retain nutrients when cooking. |
| Use the cooking water from vegetables to prepare soups and gravy. |
