Hi, this morning I made myself some OATS.
I put too much water in the pot and after I poured everything from the pot into the bowl, it was hot and almost overflowing. So I carefully poured just the water to a cup. I wonder if drinking those water has anything healthy in it.. Thoughts?
Any form of cooking, or heating, you’ll lose some nutrients, especially the water soluble ones. I wouldn’t worry about it though.
I once talked to a Japanese (one of the healthiest population on planet). When he prepare soba (buckwheat noodles), he’ll use the water that cooked the noodles and them into soup. So they wouldn’t waste the nutrients that leeched from the noodles to the water.
