In order to meet our daily nutrient needs, it is advisable to choose our foods wisely (opting preferably for fresh, seasonal and local products) and to preserve them in a way that prevents/minimizes nutrient loss.

Several factors must be considered to make a good choice on how to prepare and cook your food.
