For example, steaming or boiling carrots or broccoli destroys much of their soluble fiber. Deep-frying a potato breaks down both the insoluble and soluble fiber, leaving very little your body can utilize. For the highest fiber retention, eat your vegetables raw or as close to raw as possible. Cooking your vegetables, through boiling or any other method, can reduce the fiber your body can use by almost half.
