Nothing nutritional is lost from a vegetable when you wash it, whether or not it is peeled. All washing does is rinse loose, external particles such as dirt off the surface of the vegetable. All vitamins are contained within the cells of the vegetable. Unless you have the technology to rinse or clean out every individual cell of the plant, it is impossible to "rinse away" vitamins. However, there are vitamins contained in the peel of some vegetables that will be lost when you remove the skin. Even still, washing it has NOTHING to do with vitamin loss.

How do nutrients get lost during the process of cooking and preparation show can you prevent then?
Some minerals and vitamin A are also lost during cooking, although to a lesser extent. Fat-soluble vitamins D, E and K are mostly unaffected by cooking. Boiling results in the greatest loss of nutrients, while other cooking methods more effectively preserve the nutrient content of food.Steaming and boiling caused a 22 percent to 34 percent loss of vitamin C. Microwaved and pressure-cooked vegetables retained 90 percent of their vitamin C. The bottom line is that no one cooking or preparation method is superior for preserving 100 percent of the nutrients in a vegetable.Vitamin C is a water-soluble and temperature-sensitive vitamin, so is easily degraded during cooking, and elevated temperatures and long cooking times have been found to cause particularly severe losses of vitamin C
