which is the best cooking technique that keeps the vitamins in the broccoli

you can:
-bake
-steam
-microwave
-boil
-toast

Cook the broccoli using these methods and then, at the end, test which has the highest content of Vit C

or, figure out, what is the longest time you can steam broccoli before u start to lose VitC, 15min, 30min, or 1 hour

use a pH indicator to check for VitC
