Default Good Question

Every good question deserves an answer. And my answer is, I dunno.

If the nutrients are water soluble then, sure, you'll lose them in the soak. But, by the same token, what happens when you actually cook them? Unless you retain and use the cooking water, there will be the same nutrient loss. Perhaps even more so, because solubility increases with heat.

Hopefully, Luc will chime in.
