Do you have a favorite recipe with carrots? We love them in every variation. ❤️🥕❤️
After shopping, carrots should be taken out of their packaging immediately and preferably stored in the vegetable compartment in the refrigerator. The greens from a bunch of carrots should be removed right away, as otherwise the carrots wilt and become soft more quickly. But it's too good to throw away, as it's perfect for a green smoothie! Simply blend the greens from three carrots with 400 milliliters of water, 150 grams of baby spinach or romaine lettuce, and fruit (e.g. peeled orange, mango, and/or a banana), and a tablespoon of flaxseed oil in a blender!
By the way, did you know that the naturally occurring alpha and beta carotenes, as precursors of vitamin A, make carrots the healthy "eye and skin vegetable"? In addition, they contain vitamins B and E, and a high content of minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, and iron, as well as the dietary fiber pectin.
Always add a little oil to the carrots because the fat-soluble vitamins contained in them otherwise cannot unfold their effect.
Tip: If the carrots become "limp" or wilted, simply wrap them in a damp kitchen towel or soak them in water, and they will become crisp again. This tip applies to all types of root vegetables.
