Good question. Nutritionists have shown that microwaved vegetables usually retain MORE nutrients than those that are conventionally cooked. One exception: lycopenes in tomatoes become more bioavailable when cooked than raw.

A new study says that up to 98% of the nutrients are destroyed in a microwave.
