Red Lentils for example. I eat them alot. But usually after cooking them (high heat 5 min and low heat 5 min) a total of 10 minutes they are really soft and have lost all firmness. Does that mean more than half the nutrients at this point are gone?

I usually drink the water surrounding it since i was advised to do so. But what about minerals, vitamins and proteins, how much is left. One site said that as much as 75% can be gone, another said not much only a little.

thx.
