DIFFERENCES IN TASTE,

TEXTURE AND WAYS OF


COOKING BETWEEN THE 4
MARKET FORMS OF
VEGETABLES
1. FRESH VEGETABLES
TASTE
• Vegetables can often have a bitter flavor in
raw form. Of the five basic flavors – sweet,
salty, sour, bitter, and umami – sour and bitter
are often the ones hardest to get on board
with. The bitter flavors can come from the
very nutrients in vegetables that we’re trying
to get more of.
TEXTURE
• Consumers have clear expectations for the
texture of fresh- cut vegetables and fruits. Salad
vegetables like lettuce, carrot, celery, and
radish should be crisp.
WAYS OF COOKING
1. Blanching – Blanching is scalding vegetables in boiling water or
steam for a short time.
2. Braising - is a cooking method that uses both wet and dry heat
and is typically used to prepare both tougher cuts of meat and
hearty vegetables.
3. Grilling - is a dry-heat cooking method.
4. Microwaving – rapid heating by passing high frequency waves
from a magnetron through the food or liquid to be heated.
2. DRIED VEGETABLES
TASTE
• Dehydrated vegetables and fruits provide
convenient and delicious additions to family
meals. They can be used alone, in combination
with other foods or as an accent to add flavor.
Dehydrated vegetables are best used as
ingredients for soups, casseroles, sauces and
stews.
TEXTURE
• Dehydrated food is hard and usually brittle;
some dehydrated food, like fruits and fruit
leather, may still be pliable, but the end product
still winds up being fairly tough. Dehydrated
vegetables, such as carrots, will make a hard
plink!
WAYS OF COOKING
1. Simmering - is a cooking method that brings the liquid
of a dish to just below the boiling point over lower
heat.
2. Sautéing - is a cooking technique which derives its
name from the French verb for jumping. Sauté is a
dry-heat cooking method, which involves cooking a
small amount of fat in a hot pan while tossing
ingredients around.
3. Grilling - is a dry-heat cooking method.
3. FROZEN VEGETABLES
TASTE
• Frozen veggies can taste just as good as fresh
—and sometimes even better. To help you get
the most out of frozen veggies.
TEXTURE
• “Since freezing causes water to expand and
veggies are mostly water, the freezing process
pushes and stretches the cell walls to
maximum,” Shepherd said. “This results in
less structure and a softer, mushier texture
when thawed.”
WAYS OF COOKING
1. Sautéing – is a cooking technique which derives its name
from the French verb for jumping. Sauté is a dry-heat
cooking method, which involves cooking a small amount
of fat in a hot pan while tossing ingredients around.
2. Roasting - is a slow-cooking process, using indirect,
diffused heat to cook its ingredients.
3. Steaming is a method of cooking that requires moist heat.
4. CANNED VEGETABLES
TASTE
• Canned vegetables have a negative reputation
for having an unappealing taste. Due to their
being soaked in a brine for preservation
purposes, canned foods are often described as
“metallic-tasting”. If cooked right, however,
canned foods can taste just as good as farm-fresh
options!
TEXTURE
• When canned vegetables and fruits are cooked
during processing, the tissue softens as
cementing pectic substances in the cell walls of
plant tissue degrade. This softening can be
counteracted by the addition of calcium ions in
the form of calcium hydroxide and calcium
pectate.
WAYS OF COOKING
1. Because Canned Vegetables are already cooked
right in the tin, they just need to be heated. Heat
right in the liquid they came in, probably for no
more than 4 minutes in a saucepan or a minute or
two in the microwave in a microwave-safe dish.
