ELIF: How is nutrition cooked out of food?
In: Biology
If the food is boiled, then some of the Vitamins contained may leach out into the water; this is especially noticeable with Vitamin C. Effectively, certain nutrients are “water soluble”; they dissolve in water, and are washed away by the water that is boiling the food. Additionally, the heat can break the nutrients down into stuff that isn’t particularly useful to us.
