Preserving the Nutrients

Few hints & tips on keeping your food full of goodness

I really am going to keep todays email as brief as possible. I promise. So I am going to bullet point my tips and then sign off.

Do I hear you breathe a sigh of relief? Ok here we go then for a few pointers-

• Remember to handle your food carefully. Bruising the food can increase its rate of deterioration.

• Don’t use too much water when cooking as nutrients can leach when foods are boiled. Microwave and steaming retain more nutrients in the food. My preferred choice is stir-frying always. And that retains nutrients too.

• Store root vegetables such as potatoes, in a cool dark spot which is ventilated

• Store fruits in the refrigerator. Flavour can be enhanced by bringing them to room temperature just before eating.

• Keep the moisture levels in vegetables by storing them in the refrigerator either in the vegetable section.

• Do not open sealed mix salad bags until you wish to use them

• Do not store fruit in the same bowl as bananas. Preferably hang the bananas and keep at room temperature

That’s it for now.
