For working professionals and students living alone, eating the same food throughout the day is the new normal because of time constraints. So reheating the food throughout the day or on the next day is a very common practice done by even people living with their families.
Will there be a nutritional loss if you reheat your food?
-
Reheating the food once is not bad.
-
But reheating multiple times can result in the loss of some minerals and vitamins.
-
Vitamin B and vitamin C are heat sensitive so multiple times reheating can result into reducing this nutrients in the food.
-
It can also result in proteins becoming tough, mostly in eggs and meat. The nutritional value can get reduced due to degranulation of proteins.
-
Proper temperature and evenly reheating the food is necessary to avoid the growth of bacteria in the section of food left cold.
Are there any techniques and methods to prevent essential nutrients loss after reheating the food?
