Vitamin Loss
Nutrients such as the
vitamin C and the B vi
tamins are water soluable
This means these nutrients
may get washed out when
boiled in water. Thus, the
longer you cook them, the
greater the chance of vita
min loss.
Cracked Wheat
Cracked wheat is whole
wheat that has been cracked
coarsely.
