      Misunderstanding: Cut first and wash later

      Nowadays, most people choose to cut vegetables first and then wash them. They think that washing them first may not make them clean.

      But, you know what? Many nutrients and beneficial substances in vegetables are water-soluble. Chopping vegetables into small pieces will cause a large amount of nutrients to be lost in the water during the washing process.

      In this way, when we eat vegetables, we will not be able to achieve the desired purpose of supplementing the body's nutritional elements. The correct method is to wash and then cut and then cook, so that the nutrients are not easily lost.
