Eating Guide:

Food group: Vegetables (Raw)
Veggies, are loaded with enzymes and high-water content. They aid in digestion and act as daily dose of vitamins and minerals. Raw salads along with a meal, ensures our bodies do not work extra hard to digest the cooked foods. That translates into happy liver. So go ahead add veggies as salads to meals amply. For kids grate the veggies and mix with meals.

Hi Purvi. We want to minimise heat & pressure exposure to the veggies to retain their nutrients & enzymes. Hence, steaming is a better option than pressure cooking.
