Benefits of Eating Steamed Vegetables

We’re all aware of the recommended 3 servings of vegetables per day, but who wants to be munching on raw carrots and celery all the time?  On the other hand, if you’re eating a lot of stir fry or sautéed vegetables, you can be ingesting excess calories and fat.  The most beneficial and delicious way to get your recommended servings of vegetables is through steaming.  Steamed vegetables lock in all the valuable vitamins in the vegetable, and also bring out the flavor.  There’s few people out there who would prefer raw cauliflower or broccoli over steamed cauliflower or broccoli; this is because steaming makes the texture more pleasant and also easier to swallow. 

Though you can use a vegetable steamer to steam your vegetables, it’s also possible to use a standard rice cooker.  In most circumstances you just need a little water and a pan with a lid to create delicious steamed vegetables at home.
