If you are provided with some vegetables to cook. You generally add salt

into the vegetables during cooking process. After adding salt, vegetables
release water. What mechanism is responsible for this?

Answered by admin @


While doing cooking, generally we add salt to vegetables ( contains water).
Adding salt, makes the concentration of salt higher in outside membrane of vegetables than in inside. ( more salt, less water)

As a result, due the process of OSMOSIS, water from vegetables comes outside making it softer and helps in faster cooking.
