I have heard that you lose a lot of the nutrients by boiling and this makes the most sense to me. I would go with steaming.

@jeyoung65 cook till tender, around ten minutes or so...peace

Hello Mike, did you know that you kill all the nutrients, vitamines and all the good stuff out of your vegies when you cook them... Did you try to eat the malabar raw in a salad .. ? Perhaps this would be a good idea although I dont think the hard part could be eaten, perhaps just the leaves.

Have a great day.

@RosalindandPearls  raw is best but not always the best taste...to each his own...peace

@livelife365 i certainly will thank you

@jameyc1 i do not refrigerate my olive oil....and there are several schools of thought on the vitamin retention when boiling versus steaming and in my opinion and research there is very little difference...peace

@NW7sOuNdS about ten minutes, depending on how you like it...and i will research the benefits of lemons and post a vid soon...peace
