Question

If you are provided with some vegetables to cook, you generally addsalt into the vegetables. After adding salt, vegetables release water. Why?​

Answer 1

On adding salt, the external medium is made hypertonic, i.e., concentration of water is lowered as compared to the concentration of water inside the cell. Thus, water is released from the vegetables due to exosmosis (water molecules goes out of the cell resulting in shrinkage of cell).
