Does vegetables that are grown hydroponically as nutritious which were grown in soil? any idea on this and am wondering this from long time ago.

Not that I know of but you can grow it in nutritious soil to help it grow healthy!

Both are excellent and nutritious, however Hydroponics is a newest method for growing plants. I would suggest go with Hydroponics as they give enough tastiest and pure vegetables.
Try with best seed company or else you loss hopes on it later.

The hydroponic system uses lab-manufactured water-soluble nutrients. Whereas when you are growing in soil you can grow it 100 percent organic. Now, you can draw your own conclusion, about which one will be a healthy option.

I have seen a lot of people and businesses are purchasing hydroponic grown products. we can go deep to discover which is the right for health.

Hydroponic (Water-Based)
Pros:
Faster Growth & Higher Yield: Plants get ideal nutrients 24/7, so they grow faster and produce more in a smaller space.
Water Efficient: Uses up to 90% less water; it's a recirculating system.
Fewer Pesticides: No soil means fewer weeds, fungi, and soil-borne pests.
Total Control: You control the exact nutrient mix and pH for optimal health.
Year-Round & Anywhere: Can be grown indoors, in cities, or in poor soil areas.
Cons:
High Startup Cost: Systems (pumps, lights, nutrients) can be expensive.
Technical Knowledge: Requires monitoring of pH, nutrients, and system health. A power outage can be disastrous.
Flavor Debate: Some argue the taste isn't as "rich" or "complex" as soil-grown, though this is highly subjective and depends on the grower's skill.
Soil-Grown (Traditional)
Pros:
Lower Startup Cost: Easier and cheaper to start with basic gardening tools.
Better Flavor (Argument): Many believe the complex microbiology in soil creates superior, more complex flavors.
More Forgiving: Mistakes (like overwatering) are less instantly critical.
Natural & Sustainable: When done organically, it builds healthy topsoil and supports a natural ecosystem.
Cons:
Slower Growth: Plants must search for nutrients and water.
More Water Use: More water is lost to evaporation and runoff.
Pests & Weeds: More vulnerable to soil-borne diseases, pests, and weeds.
Weather Dependent: Entirely at the mercy of the seasons and climate.
Verdict: It's not about which is "better," but which is better for you.
Choose Hydroponics for max efficiency, space-saving, and high-tech control.
Choose Soil for a lower-cost, more traditional method with a unique flavor profile and less reliance on technology.
Many gardeners enjoy both for different reasons
