Answer» 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.
