As the ancients said, "Three days without meat are bearable, but a day without vegetables is not." The Chinese Nutrition Society's Balanced Diet Pyramid recommends that Chinese residents should consume more than 500 grams of fresh vegetables daily, while the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Dietary Guidelines Pyramid advocates that residents should ensure at least five servings of fresh vegetables each day. This book showcases various aspects of how to select the freshest vegetables when shopping, how to retain the freshest nutrients during the cooking process, how to pair vegetables to achieve the freshest taste, and how to store them to maximize the retention of fresh nutrients. Fresh is the best, fresh is what we love!
