1) Vegetables should be washed before cutting, because washing after cutting will cause excessive loss of water-soluble vitamins and minerals from the cut surfaces. Rinse with running water as much as possible, and do not soak in water for a long time. Cook as soon as possible after washing to maximize nutrient retention.
2) Cooked vegetables should be eaten as soon as possible, not only because nutrients are lost over time, but also because nitrite content increases with time. Leafy vegetables, in particular, are best eaten immediately after cooking and in one sitting, avoiding reheating.
