Gary, I had no idea you posted this question. I've always heard that raw, vegetables held more vitamin content than cooked. Perhaps it's true that when you boil a vegetable, some of the vitamins are cooked out into the water. However, I doubt all the vitamins and minerals are lost during cooking. I'm sure my fried okra would be considered less healthy in comparison to my cooking it in plain water however.
