Thereof, does blending vegetables destroy nutrients?
No, blending fruits and vegetables does not kill the nutrients in them. Your body doesn't have to do all the work to break the food down in order to get at the nutrients. Blending essentially pre-digests food and your body is able to extract more nutrients than from the whole foods.
Also, do blended vegetables still have fiber? Blending or making a smoothie does NOT remove fiber. You'll blend it up into smaller pieces making it less noticeable, but its is there. You get all that nutritionally goodness from the fiber (and it is good). Juicing will remove the INSOLUBLE fiber but will not remove the soluble fiber.
Thereof, is it healthy to blend vegetables?
When you blend your fruit and vegetables, you are not only making the nutrients more bioavailable but you are also breaking open the cells and leaving in all that wonderful fiber to work it's way through your body. You are also balancing the sugars with the fiber, allowing a slower release of sugar into your system.
Do vegetables lose nutrients when cut?
The nutrient that suffers the heaviest hit in cut fruits and vegetables is probably vitamin C, although some vitamin A and vitamin E get lost as well. Most other nutrients, including minerals, B-complex vitamins, and fiber, aren't lost after cutting or peeling the inedible rind from fruits and vegetables.
