I was just reading this article on Yahoo by Dr. Maoshing Ni (who practices Chinese Medicine, and writes for Yahoo Health Section) about the benefits of having soup once a day. One particular paragraph stood out to me. I have quoted him below:
“When you slowly simmer foods over low heat, you gently leach out the energetic and therapeutic properties of the foods, preserving the nutritional value of the foods. Keep in mind that boiling can destroy half of the vitamins found in vegetables, so cook soup over a low heat.”
I find this interesting, now I am going to think in a whole different way while cooking. Slow heat, and simmer is the best way to retain maximum vitamins.
