Amazing!!! Love red cabbage
So If frozen kale double the antioxidants, can lettuce do it as well?
Ok soo i saw another health video that stated that microwaves are bad because they reduce or kill 40% or the whole nutrients but this does not apply to all the greens mentioned in this video can someone clear out if its actually pretty safe to use the microwave for even reducing nutrient reduction in some cases ? Does anyone understand and could help clear my doubts ?
Great information. What about blending them as in my VitaMix? I blend my greens in the morning with cold water and drink them down with a straw. Not overly tasty but it gets me my quantity amount of the greens for the day in a deliverable pathway I can use.
I'm very confused with the whole high carb diet for insulin resistance and diabetes. I get really bad symptoms when consuming even a few carbs. Could it be something else? Lack of digestive enzymes?
"Cruciferocious" lol! Love it 😂😂😂
Do the nutrients go into the wayer? Saybif I through them into a would I get all the nutrients?
i rarely eat kale, i bet its the worst plant for insect and slugs and snails and caterpillars to hide in and try get off, broccoli leaves/collard greend arent even worth the hastle of trying to eat cause even scrubbing each leaf as much as u can you just cant get all the apids theres alway crevises along the stems that i always missed out so i just gave up i dont like killing all those insects either
it would be cool to see dr greger end up going down the raw hole
Plastic bags are made out of animals.
Thx for the info
I drink the water or make a soup. Not sure how much that help and I eat salad every day so I get loads of vitamin C.
I eat microwaved kale every night. I love the texture.
I’m curious about how fermentation of veggies might impact the nutrients?
How to cook disgusting greens.
Add mustard seeds to cooked broccoli, cauliflower etc https://youtu.be/19QFaV9Lj5I
kale university baby
I DON’T KNOW WHY THERE’S NO RESEARCH YET ON COOKING VEGETABLES USING WATERLESS AND GREASELESS COOKWARE like innove or saladmaster why????
Can I drink the water that the veggies have been booked in?
Are the nutrients completely destroyed or are they just dissolved in water? I mostly wash the vegetables, cook them and eat everything in a stew.
What? Cooking Kale make them more antioxydant ? 😱
Every day I shove 100 grams of raw spinach, kale and arugula in my pie hole and swallow them. For me food is medicine and I treat it as such.
Thanks doc. God bless u and your team
Just has a rich roll smoothie with a ton of frozen kale in it. Yum.
Heating anything past 118 degrees destroys enzymes
Don't. Boil
Eat those broccoli leaves!
I boil and drink the boil water. I figured since it was green colored it must have some planty goodness I didn't want to pour down the drain.
Thanks!
If I had to eat them raw, I wouldnt ever eat a single gram. Cooking makes me eat them, so I think that is better than nothing.
Cruciferocious! Are you selling this on t-shirts? Cause I want one 🤑
😯all the broccoli leaves I threw out! What a waste! Thanks doc! As always.
Very impressed how you show total ignorance in vitamin's colloidal scope when it comes to cooking vegetables. Promoting bullshit here.
I try to go 50% cooked greens and 50% raw greens per day. Best of both worlds!
why would u boil them? vitamins r already low cuz they were picked like 5 years ago and minerals r non existent in them (trash soil etc)
and then u go full trojan-horse and make it so that pathogenic bacteria eat their remains when u eat them (cooked)? ridiculous insanity! 🤨
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So bottom line is to steam your veggies otherwise the boiling water could wash away the nutrients! "cruciferocious" hahaha nice term! 😛 Thanks for this amazing video!!
Que a raw foodist complaining about lost enzymes.
Here's my question: if I put greens in a soup do the antioxidants leach out into the soup or are they destroyed? Does heat break up the compounds or does it just break the cell walls and set them free. Vegan Kale soup = total happiness.
