I have a question for Windhover. My PA did not know the answer today. But you eat extremely healthily so you may know the answer. Is it possible to over cook veggies to the point that much of the fiber is lost? Like adding peas to a casserole, or barley to a stew and simmering it for hours?

TY

@SillyOldBear Sometitmes I eat not so healthy, lol. But I guess I've gotten some good habits going, thank you. Anyway as far as I know the answer is 'kind of, yes.' I always have to look at things from a few viewpoints so, sorry for the slightly long answer. In one respect long cooking is a good thing, because too much fiber can upset your system. Raw, un-sptrouted dired beans for example are not digestible/edible until cooked. Cooking whole foods like peas, grains or legumes starts to break down their fiber and makes them easier on our digestive process. Pearled barley holds up well over long cooking times, and still gives you good fiber. And it's delicious. : )

btw If a person has never eaten much or any high fiber foods, it's good to change that, but to do so gradually over the course a couple of months. Your system's bacteria will change to accomodate the healthier foods.
