Eating vegetables in any form, whether raw or cooked, is necessary because of the nutrients they provide and low calories, and experts point out that although it is commonly believed that cooked vegetables contain fewer nutrients than fresh ones, this does not apply to all vegetables. Some of the nutrients found in some vegetables and fruits can only be benefited from by cooking, and among these vegetables is “carrots”. Cooking in the case of “carrots” activates the cancer-fighting carotenoids in this plant, which are the nutrients responsible for its orange color. Green spinach is full of nutrients, but it becomes even more beneficial when it is cooked.

On the other hand, a cup of cooked white mushrooms contains twice the amount of muscle-building potassium, heart-healthy niacin, immune-boosting zinc, and bone-strengthening magnesium. Sweet peppers are full of nutrients, and this information may surprise you. Sweet peppers contain 6 times more vitamin C than citrus fruits, and they are also a great source of antioxidants when cooked. This also applies to broccoli, which becomes more beneficial when cooked.
