How to preserve the nutritional value of your food with healthy kitchen tools

Eating food that lacks nutrients is just as good as eating nothing at all. Even if you make sure your food is rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, and other nutrients, there’s a good chance it will lose nutritional value before you eat it.

Few people are aware that most of the nutrients in food are lost during cooking if cookware is not made of the right material. It occurs in the following three ways:

1. Conventional cookware (metal or ceramic) leaches toxins into food as it cooks. At cooking temperature, metals such as stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, cast iron, etc., leach ions and react with food, a biochemical entity in which heat acts as a catalyst. As a result, food becomes contaminated and unsafe. These toxins cause serious long-term health problems ranging from short-term illnesses to chronic illnesses.
2. Also, the heat from these pots is destructive to the delicate nutritional cells of the food. Touch a metal pan five minutes after heating it, it will burn your skin and leave a scar, food is made of the same fabric and is subject to damage during cooking.
3. Steam must escape through a vent before opening the lid. So, the water-soluble nutrients evaporate. This is another way nutrients are lost.

You can check your cookware at home with a simple alkaline baking soda test to see if it’s leaching toxins into your food.

How is Pure Clay different?

Pure clay is 100% safe and healthy for making cookware as it is made from primary clay, clay with no natural contaminants. The following characteristics of pure clay pots ensure that the food cooked in them is healthy:

1. These pots do not leach any chemicals or metals into the food as it cooks.
2. They cook with a unique far infrared heat that penetrates deep into the beans without damaging them. This heat is friendly to food and cooks gently, keeping nutrients intact.
3. This healthy cookware has excellent steam management properties. The ergonomically designed pot and lid allow steam to circulate inside and cook food with its own steam pressure. The pot’s straight walls, its concentric circles, the inner slot in the lid, and the cool bottom of the knob allow steam to rise, condense, and fall back into the pot. This prevents water soluble nutrients from evaporating as steam like in conventional metal/ceramic cookware.

All of these great features make the food nutritionally rich and truly healthy for you and your family. Worry no more about toxins getting into your food or losing nutrients, choose healthy pure clay cookware today and enjoy healthy food for the rest of your life.
