1 CARROT Scrub all soil from carrots before eating or cooking. If desired, peel with a vegetable peeler. Baby carrots are slightly shorter carrots that have been peeled, trimmed, and packaged. Carrots team well with almost any vegetable. Select carrots with dark orange color for more beta-carotene. Raw carrots are good for snacking or adding to salads. Carrots can also be white, yellow, red and purple. Avoid huge overgrown carrots, as centers can be woody. Keep fresh for several weeks in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator in pierced plastic bags with green tops trimmed. Orange Most carrots are orange and 7-10 inches long Many individual varieties, some even higher in betacarotene Cook by steaming or microwaving and add to soups, stews or roast, grill, or stir fry. Carrots can also be shredded and baked into cakes and breads. Green carrot tops can also be added to soups and stews, but store separately and for just a few days.

2 Nutrition Notes Beta-carotene is an antioxidant found in brightly colored fruits and vegetables. The brighter the color of a fruit or vegetable, the higher the beta-carotene content. Carrots are a great source of beta-carotene. Our bodies use beta-carotene to make vitamin A, a nutrient important for vision, immune function, and skin and bone health.
