Question

why should the vegetables not to be cut into small pieces

Answer 1

"Fruits are a rich source of nutrients. However one of the common methods which reduces the nutritional value of fruits is cutting it into small pieces.

This is because in an uncut fruit, the nutrients inside are not exposed to the atmosphere and hence cannot undergo oxidation.

Another factor is water soluble vitamins are lost via the fluid which evaporates from the cut surface of the cut fruit

Answer 2

$<b><i><u>$ A little correction in the question => V̶e̶g̶e̶t̶a̶b̶l̶e̶s̶ Fruits ✅

Fruits, being a rich source of vitamins, nutrients, and minerals are cut into small pieces which undergoes a decrease in the vitamins and nutrients present inside the food.

The vitamins and minerals, either, mix up with the atmosphere or evaporate from the surface of the fruits.

So, fruits should be consumed in the condition they already are. We just need to wash them before we peel off. Peeling off should also be avoided in case of some fruits like apple, guava, et cetera.
