    Most of the vitamins contained in leafy vegetables are water-soluble. Soaking for too long when washing or washing after cutting will make the vitamins soluble in water and lose nutrition. Therefore, it is best to wash the whole leaf and then cut it. When it is cut, it should be cooked immediately. If the cut leaves are left unused for a long time, vitamin C will be easily lost. The second is to stir fry quickly, otherwise vitamin C will be seriously damaged by heating for too long. You can use starch to thicken leafy vegetables. Adding a small amount of starch during cooking can increase the freshness and tenderness. Starch also protects vitamin C. But don't put too much vinegar during cooking. The acidic environment will destroy the chlorophyll, make the vegetable leaves yellow or brown, and reduce the food value.
