They really taste better when steamed.
I wouldn't have them any other way.

I steam most of my veggies - especially the more delicate ones.

forget about steaming or otherwise! I only wish people should understand that apart from the big and happy meals, french fries etc. there are some wonderful eatables called as veggies and fruits!
Your clipping is excellent!

When steaming vegetables, for example, try adding to the water subtle flavors, such as soy sauce or citrus. You can toss steamed orange vegetables with a small amount of honey or maple syrup.
