Buying healthy ingredients is one thing. By storing or preparing them correctly, you can get even more benefit from the nutrients.
1. Soak nuts and seeds
Some nuts and seeds become easier to digest after being soaked overnight. The next day you can rinse and dry the nuts. The nuts can be kept in the fridge for up to three days. Why should you soak nuts? This is explained very clearly in this article.
2. Do not fry garlic for too long Garlic loses healthy nutrients when heated. So don't fry the garlic from the start, but only prepare it ten minutes before your meal is ready. The same applies to onions, raw they are healthier. Don't you like that? Then it is best to heat them as little as possible.
Did you know that old garlic is healthier?
3. Do not peel your vegetables Don't peel your eggplant, the skin is rich in antioxidants. The skin of cucumber contains minerals that are good for your skin and hair. Zucchini contain many nutrients in the skin, so it is better not to peel it either.
4. Store tomatoes at room temperature
At room temperature, the tomato ripens further, so that more of the antioxidant lycopene is produced.
5. Dare to choose frozen vegetables
Frozen vegetables are frozen after they are picked when ripe. After freezing, all nutrients are well preserved.
