Mineral

In everyday use misleadingly often also briefly called minerals, are vital, inorganic Nutrients which the organism cannot produce itself; they must be supplied with food. The substances mentioned here exclusively concern the human or animal organism; plants, fungi and bacteria partly require other minerals. Since the minerals are not organic and the elements are usually present as ions or in the form of inorganic compounds, they are unlike some vitamins insensitive to most preparation methods. For example, they cannot be destroyed by heat or air. However, many of them can be leached out of the food through excessively long cooking in too much water if the cooking water is not consumed but poured away.
