TIP OF THE DAY: Steaming Vegetables
|
Most of us don’t eat our recommended daily portions of fruit and vegetables (use this calculator to see how much you need).
You can serve a side of vegetables with breakfast eggs, with lunch and of course, with dinner. At the end of the day, if we haven’t eaten our share, we steam vegetables as a snack. We steam them in the microwave, which couldn’t be easier. All you need are vegetables and a microwave-safe container (or a bowl and plastic wrap). Steaming retains more nutrients than other cooking methods, and maximizes the flavor and color of the vegetables. You can steam your vegetables to a crunchy/al dente state or any other consistency. But take care not to overcook: Better al dente than mushy. See complete steaming instructions for microwave and stovetop. |
