Did you know that different ways of cooking veggies (or not cooking them) can change the amount of nutrients you might get, or might be beneficial for people with certain conditions?
If you like grilled veggies, consider roasting - HCAs and AGEs can be greated more easily on a grill which tends to burn parts of the vegetables.
If you have a digestive condition, steaming might be the best bet to preserve nutrition and make vegetables easier to digest. It can also increase antioxidant activity in peppers, green beans, broccoli and spinach and make it easier to get the beta carotene from carrots.
Of course, the best way to prepare veggies is how you'll eat them, since eating vegetables cooked with any method is better than not eating any!
