Is vegetable soup not nutritious?
The other day when we talked about giving babies rice pudding, I mentioned that after eating plain rice pudding, you can get some vegetables and cook them in juice, and then use this juice to cook rice pudding. One of the moms around me said: I read online that some experts say that vegetable broth is not good as it loses a lot of nutrients. First of all, there is a common sense that any cooking means will cause the loss of different nutrients. Vegetables because they contain more water-soluble vitamins, such as vitamin C, B and so on, so when vegetables are cooked in soup, a considerable part of the nutrients will be dissolved into this soup. Therefore, say vegetables cooking soup no nutrition actually refers to the vegetables after cooking soup, but not no nutrition, but the nutrition loss is relatively large, a lot of dissolved into the soup. Therefore, we can often see this advice, is to eat vegetable soup, to eat both vegetables and soup, do not just eat vegetables. In fact, since it is a vegetable soup, who just eat vegetables and not soup ah? And since you have eaten the vegetables, soup also drink, that the vegetables itself complete nutrients are also intake, and talk about how "no nutrition it? Well, here is the explanation of the problem of "no nutrition in vegetable soup". (We will not consider the loss of nutrients when vegetables are heated for the time being, as any food will lose nutrients when heated). Then it is a question of cooking rice paste with vegetable soup. Since the soup has dissolved a lot of nutrients from the vegetables, do you think that cooking rice paste with this soup is more nutritious, or cooking rice paste with water is more nutritious? So, in following the principle of supplemental food for infants from less to more, from one kind to many kinds, cooking rice paste with vegetable soup is definitely a very good method. In fact, many of our moms are definitely doing this, but often panic when they see some claims on the Internet, and they are afraid to give their children food when they were eating well. In fact, many of the views online, we can not say it is wrong, but at least are incomplete, so we look at these views, do not follow directly, think a little bit, in fact, a lot of problems can be understood once you think about it, does not require much expertise. For example, "vegetable soup" this point of view, you even if you do not know the nutrients dissolved in water, vegetables and soup nutritional relationship, but you think a little bit, since it is boiled vegetables, and then how it is also more nutritious than water, since more nutritious, of course, with vegetable broth cooking rice paste will be better ah!
