Food Storage And Vitamin Losses. Let’s see what happens to vitamins during food storage periods, how vitamins in food can be lost or preserved at that time.
Fruits and vegetables are the main source of vitamins and other nutrients in our diet. The highest nutritional value of fruits and vegetables is in the first weeks after harvesting and in some cases only in first few days. Most root vegetables (potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, onions, beets) may be stored for long periods in dark and cool places. We can use these vegetables for whole winter and spring, but we should remember that their nutritional value gradually decreases. In spring time the content of vitamins in these vegetables is much less than in fall. For example, potatoes lose 50% of its vitamin C in two month after harvesting and almost 80% of vitamin C is lost after four month of storage. Other vegetables lose the most of their nutrients during first few days after they were picked from the field. Here is another example -- fresh green peas.
