5. Fresh Herbs
Fresh herbs like basil, cilantro, and parsley lose their vibrant flavor and aroma when subjected to long, slow cooking.
- Solution: Stir in fresh herbs during the last few minutes of cooking or use them as a garnish after serving.
6. Leafy Greens (Spinach, Kale, Lettuce)
Leafy greens wilt and disintegrate quickly under prolonged heat, losing their texture and nutritional value.
- Solution: Add hearty greens like kale or spinach during the last 30 minutes of cooking to retain some structure and flavor.
