Grated Carrot and Coconut Salad |
Carrot is rich in beta-carotene which is an antioxidant that gives it a bright orange colour. Beta carotene is digested in the intestines where it is converted into Vitamin A. It is also rich in phytonutrient called polyacetylenes . Carrot reduces the risk of cancer and cardio-vascular diseases. It is good for the skin and it gives a glowing complexion to the skin. It is also good for the gums and teeth. Tradition has it that carrot is good for eye sight.
Excess Vitamin A is stored in the body for
future use; whereas excess vitamin B and C are disposed through urine.
Carrot has a sweet flavour and therefore is
suitable for making juice, cakes and muffins. Carrot is also used in soups, dips and coleslaw.
Baby carrots make an excellent snack. Eating carrot raw
or steamed gives the best result.
Carrots are stored in the refrigerator in
sealed plastic bags. If the carrots come with green tops, it is better to
remove them before storing as otherwise they will continue to draw out
nutrients and moisture from the roots.
