How does the preparation method (steaming, boiling, roasting) affect the nutrient content of vegetables?
Steaming and microwaving tend to preserve the most nutrients, especially water-soluble vitamins like vitamin C and B vitamins. Boiling can cause nutrient loss as vitamins leach into the water. Roasting can enhance flavor and retain most nutrients but may reduce some heat-sensitive vitamins.
