\"\"<\/a>Preparation of food by exposure to heat, that is, baking, boiling, frying, microwaving, roasting, etc.<\/p>\n

\n

The process of heating foods to prepare them for eating. Cooking makes most foods more palatable and easier to chew, improves their digestibility (and sometimes their nutrient bioavailability), and destroys or inactivates harmful organisms, or toxins that may be present. Cooking releases the aromatic substances and extractives that contribute odors and taste to foods. These odors help to stimulate the appetite.<\/p>\n
