Quick Answers
Will blanching green vegetables in water containing baking soda help them keep their bright green color?
Adding baking soda to blanching or cooking water of
vegetables is not a recommended practice. While alkaline
additives, like soda, may help retain the green color,
they cause changes in texture and loss of nutrients that
are not desirable.
