Steamed Vegetables

Steamed Vegetables

EverydayCooked

Steamed vegetables are fresh produce cooked using moist heat to preserve their natural nutrients and vibrant colors. This gentle cooking method retains water-soluble vitamins like vitamin C and B-complex better than boiling, while maintaining a crisp-tender texture in vegetables such as broccoli, carrots, and green beans. A staple of healthy eating plans, steamed vegetables provide low-calorie fiber and essential minerals without added fats, making them suitable for vegan, gluten-free, and weight management diets.
