Why would vegetables lose nutrients when soaking them in water?
Vegetables can lose nutrients when soaked in water because many vitamins and minerals are water-soluble, meaning they dissolve in water. Extended soaking can leach these nutrients out of the vegetables, particularly B vitamins and vitamin C. Additionally, the longer vegetables are submerged, the greater the nutrient loss, especially if the water is warm or hot. To minimize nutrient loss, it's often better to wash vegetables quickly and avoid prolonged soaking.

Why must gelatin be soaked in cold liquid for them to absorb water?
Gelatin must be soaked in cold liquid to allow its granules to properly hydrate and swell before being dissolved. When placed in cold water, the gelatin absorbs moisture, expanding its structure and ensuring an even distribution of the gelatin when heated. If added directly to hot liquids, gelatin can clump together, resulting in an uneven texture. Soaking in cold liquid promotes optimal dissolution and a smooth final product.
