    5 Ways to Cook Vegetables Without Losing Their Nutrients

    A study out of Spain revealed that how you treat each nutrient-rich vegetable during the cooking process determines how many health-boosting antioxidants make it to your plate. Spanish researchers recently took 20 common veggies and measured antioxidant content before and after preparing the veggies six different ways. The results varied, but as a general rule of thumb, griddling (that's cooking on a flat metal surface with no oil) and microwave cooking maintained the highest antioxidant levels, according to the research.

      5. Pressure cooking and boiling
      Generally speaking, don't use these methods if you want to retain antioxidants in your vegetables. "In short, water is not the cook's best friend when it comes to preparing vegetables," says lead researcher A.M. Jimenez-Monreal. Peas, cauliflower, and zucchini are particularly susceptible to losing nutrients through boiling.
