Most vegetables can be cooked quickly by boiling, frying, grilling, baking, roasting and steaming.
When they are boiled at a high temperature they loose water soluble vitamins like Vitamin B and C.
Depending on how long they are boiled determines how many of the vitamins either leach out into the water or are destroyed.
There are a few ways you can retain some or most of those vitamins.
First, the best way is to steam them instead of boiling them.
If you must boil them, do it with simmering heat instead of at a hard boil.
Have your water boiling before you add your vegetables to the pot, then reduce your heat so they don't continue at a hard boil.
Use only enough water to cook your vegetables tender.
If you have water left over and must drain them to serve or use in another recipe, save the vitamin laden water.
The water can be refrigerated for a couple of days to use in other dishes like soups and gravies.
Starchy potato water can be used to thicken some dishes like soups.
Added to yeast dough it makes awesome potato breads.
You can add the liquid to casseroles that call for added water.
You can pour your vegetable liquor into freezer containers and store it in the refrigerator for several weeks.
