    Answer is YES. The more we cook the veggies, the nutrients are lost

    Its not possible to consume raw vegetables, but avoid excess cooking.
    With so much pesticides being used today, even raw vegetables have depleted nutrition values. You can take some supplements to avoid any deficit. You can PM for specific details.

    Some veggies like banana stem are difficult to be consumed raw. But it is excellent for the kidneys. So cook and eat. Nothing can be generalized.

    Yes, that is what I have read. Nutrients are reduced after cooking. I also read that pressure cooker cooks at even higher temperatures so more loss of nutrients. Try to cook without it. e.g. pulses and rice can be soaked in advance and then cooked by boiling in container instead of pressure cooker.

    Eat more of the fruits and vegetables, which can be consumed raw instead of trying to eat all types as raw.

    Of course, it is good to eat raw veg.
    but, wash them properly and consume.
