Health Tip for 22 December, '09
Cut vegetables just before eating or cooking to retain the most amount of vitamins especially Vitamin C.
The Vitamin C content of vegetables is lost at a fast rate once the vegetables have been cut or bruised. Larger the exposed area, more the loss. If you are not going to immediately use the vegetables, then cut them in larger pieces and store them in an airtight container in a refrigerator.
