Do you want to eat healthier with a greater focus on vegetables and other good stuff? Then you should be using steam cooking. Vegetables are a real all-rounder for health and well-being, but only if you cook them properly. Depending on the cooking method you choose, valuable vitamins and nutrients may be lost. Here’s how you can prepare your food in a way that preserves vitamins:
Why have alternatives to cooking at all?
Basically, cooking is about changing the consistency and taste of food through heat. Usually, this happens through boiling. Here you put the food to be cooked into boiling water. This is the traditional way to prepare pasta, boiled potatoes and vegetables. Steaming, braising, grilling, frying or baking are also possible. However, in many cases, beneficial ingredients in the food are lost. But you can prevent this: Don’t boil your vegetables. Cook them in steam. This better preserves their vitamin and mineral content.
Cooking the right way: Steam cooking is a cooking method that preserves the nutrients and flavours of your food.
From now on prefer steam cooking.
When steaming, the food is not cooked directly in water, but in steam. Steam cooking has a very long tradition in Asia, but has only developed in popularity in Europe over the last century. In principle, you can steam almost anything: Steam cooking is particularly beneficial for sensitive foods such as baby vegetables or fish. These quickly lose their flavour when cooked. Potatoes, yeast dumplings and rice are also suitable.
As always: Use seasonal and regional products – preferably from the weekly market – which you can then cook properly.
Cooking the right way: quick, tasty and healthy.
