Steaming veg
Ive just bought a new steamer one that goes on the hob rather than plug into the electric, how long should I steam green beans/ broccoli etc for?

Like Jodi said BRIGHT GREEN not olive or darker green, that means the vit C is gone.
You can take bits out and bite them for crispiness till you get used to 'the look' of the veg.

Steaming is okay but eating your veggies raw is otpimum.
Of course I steam my sweet potatoes, yams and potatoes but most everything else I just eat raw. Also, a great way to get your veggies is to buy a juicer and juice. My juicer was the best invesment I ever made. Also, sprouting is a great way to get more 'live' food into your diet. It's so easy to do.No strength within, no respect without - Kasmiri Proverb
