A chemical change involves the formation of new substances with different chemical properties. Cooking vegetables involves heating which causes chemical reactions, such as the breakdown of complex carbohydrates (like cellulose) and other organic molecules, changing their chemical structure and making the vegetables softer and more digestible. This is a chemical transformation.
