Does your food lose its nutritional value as soon as it hits the heat? This week on Nutrition Diva, Monica answers a listener's question about how different cooking methods—specifically the Instant Pot versus the stovetop—impact the vitamins and minerals in your meals.
We look into the science of nutrient retention, debunking \"urban legends\" about microwaving, and explaining why frozen vegetables might actually be more nutritious than the \"fresh\" ones sitting on your counter.
