Question

Does reheating food in a microwave destroy vitamins?

Answer

Any type of cooking (baking, boiling, microwaving) will result in some loss of certain vitamins such as vitamin C for example. However, some research has shown that microwaving food actually results in fewer nutrient losses than conventional cooking methods like boiling.

 

When you reheat food in the microwave, make sure you stir it well and test the temperature before giving to your baby, to make sure there are no hot spots.
