Description
A sustainable method that cooks a plant’s root, stem, and leaf together in one vessel.
Technical
Moderate heat (80–90 °C) gelatinizes starches in roots while minimizing thermal degradation of chlorophyll and ascorbic acid in leaves. Staggered addition ensures each tissue reaches its optimal doneness, preserving texture and flavor compounds. The process reduces nutrient loss compared with separate cooking or high‑heat methods.
Science
Primary Reaction
gelatinization of starches and thermal preservation of chlorophyll and vitamin C
