How to Cook Without Destroying Vitamins, Minerals, and Antioxidants

Did you know that traditional methods for cooking vegetables can lose from 50-80% of their nutritional value? Traditional cooking methods such as boiling can deplete water soluble vitamins, such as vitamin C and the B vitamins, as well as flavonoid phytonutrients. When I discovered that 88% of the folic acid in carrots and 66% of the flavonoids in carrots and broccoli are destroyed through boiling for extended periods of time, I knew how important it was to develop alternative Healthiest Way of Cooking methods that you will find in the World's Healthiest Foods book, which will help retain the maximum nutritional value found in these health-promoting foods.

Q&A from our new book:
What are cold pressed oils?

From Satisfied Book Readers:
