* When cutting vegetables, use a stainless steel knife: vitamin C is destroyed by contact with iron!
* It is better to cut raw vegetables on a plastic or porcelain cutting board, since a wooden one absorbs juice...
(if you have a wooden one, take good care of it: rinse with boiling water after use and sprinkle with salt at least once a week and wipe with a foam sponge. If the board has become uneven, wipe it with sandpaper).
* The larger the vegetables are cut, the less nutrients they lose when boiled and canned.
