Does Blanching take away from nutrients?

ad

I like to eat allot of greens, so is it better to eat greens cooked or raw? I find that a little salt, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil makes greens taste great. In fact when they are cooked in boiling water quickly it seems to make them all the more tasty. I also eat allot of Asparagus and Brussels Sprouts. Another vegetable that I eat often is asparagus. I eat these and other veggies for there anti estrogen properties. I have some buddies that say I am doing it all wrong. If anyone has advice I would be happy to hear from you. Thanks.

Putting greens in boiling water will take away nutrients.I steam my greens.Asparagus steamed is great.Snow peas,yum.I like my snow peas and asparagus a little crunchy,so I steam snow peas for about 4 minutes and a little longer for asparagus.I time how long I steam so I can adjust for my liking.
