Veggy tip

Throw your veg in the pan soon after chopping them up to avoid losing all the good stuff in them. Vegetables can lose nutrients once exposed to light and air.

Veggycation has been funded by Hort Innovation, using the vegetable research and development levy and contributions from the Australian Government. Hort Innovation is the grower-owned, not-for-profit Research and Development Corporation for Australian horticulture.
