IS PRESERVING NUTRITIOUS?

Yes and no, according to a paper published by the Colorado State University.

“Processing of any sort, including methods of preservation, can affect the nutrition and health benefits of foods, sometimes negatively and sometimes positively,” the paper states.

“When it comes to preservation, while some nutrients can be lost or destroyed from the use of certain preservation techniques, many nutrients are also preserved. In some cases, preservation allows for a longer nutrient shelf-life.”

You must do your homework before embarking on the journey to preserve food, particularly on the topic of safe storage of food.
