Steaming vs Boiling Vegetables
The choice between steaming and boiling vegetables can significantly impact their appearance, taste, and nutritional value.
Experts suggest that steaming has a slight advantage, as it preserves digestion-friendly compounds, vitamins, and antioxidants in vegetables.
Ayurveda calls steaming a sattvic method, one that maintains prana or life energy in food.
According to Dr. Ritika Samaddar, Regional Head of Dietetics at Max Healthcare,
Steaming is one of the healthiest cooking methods, retaining vitamins and minerals without oil, making it ideal for those managing weight, diabetes, or heart health.
- Do not oversteam; vegetables should be tender-crisp.
- Avoid crowding the steamer.
- Cut vegetables evenly for uniform cooking.
- Add herbs or salt to the water for flavor.
Author's summary: Steaming preserves nutrients better than boiling.
