Does cooking kale destroy much of its goodness with regards to sauteing in olive oil or blanching?

If goodness is healthiness, then it is best raw. Usually it isn't young and tender enough to eat raw though, so cooking it a bit may release some minerals and vitamins, but if you only use a little liquid or oil, they still may be eaten. If it's blanched in large amounts of water, nutrients are lost and can't be recovered. Another option is to incorperate it into whatever you are making be it a soup, pasta, stir fry or whatever by adding it at the last minute and just wilting a bit.


It's pretty forgiving and usually doesn't need lots of cooking.Does cooking kale destroy much of its goodness with regards to sauteing in olive oil or blanching?
I like it sauteed in olive oil with garlic until just wilted. It is so nutritious I would not worry about a slight loss due to cooking.Does cooking kale destroy much of its goodness with regards to sauteing in olive oil or blanching?
kale is so powerful i don't worry about it. steaming is good, sauteed sounds yummy right now.





or even better make a waldorf salad with kale.
cooking always denatures compounds. so there's always a loss of nutrition...in comparison to the fresh raw version. there is still plenty of nutrition in cooked veggies.
