Gentle Cooking Retains Vitamins

What’s gained by careful buying of vegetables at the market can be lost by careless cooking in the saucepan. Vitamins and minerals have a hard time surviving certain cooking conditions, and it’s wise to
know how to treat those greens and other good vegetables after they come into your kitchen. Some vitamins can stand rougher treatment than others, but gentle cooking is always good advice when it comes
to vegetables.

Vitamin A is the sturdy member of the family, not seriously affected by cooking. Vitamins B and C, on the other hand, are subject to considerable loss, and they need a little coddling to preserve them. Cut down vitamin loss to the minimum by cooking vegetables just to the point where they’re tender, and not one minute more!

Mineral salts, so essential to the body’s chemistry, dissolve in water, which is one of the reasons why the water you cook your vegetables in should never be thrown away. That water contains valuable calcium, needed to build sound bones and teeth, and even iron, essential for making rich, red blood. Cook vegetables in as little water as possible and if there is any appreciable amount of liquid left over after removing the vegetables from the saucepan, use it in sauces, vegetable cocktail drinks or in soups.

Some of the vitamins inevitably lost in cooking can be replaced by the clever cook who has a keen eye toward food values. Dressings and sauces for vegetables, when properly concocted, can add up the vitamin score to a higher total. The new vitaminized margarine makes a thrifty melted dressing for greens that adds extra vitamin A, for the best margarine on the market now has 9,000 units of vitamin A per pound which makes it equal to the year-round average of butter.
