03＼When fruit is heated, do nutrients be lost?
In fact, when the fruit is heated and eaten, the loss of nutrients is not so large, and it has a unique flavor when cooked.
Under low-temperature cooking such as steaming, boiling, and stewing, the sugars, amino acids, vitamin C, carotenoids, and other components in the fruit will be partially degraded.
Some studies have compared the vitamin content of common foods in the US Department of Agriculture’s database in the “raw” and “cooked” states, and estimated that the loss range of various vitamins after heating is about 10% ~ 26%. It can be seen that most of the vitamins are still retained, so don’t worry too much.
