The vegetables that grow in our gardens are full of vitamins. And if vegetables are not useful, then they are consumed incorrectly.
In order to absorb all the vitamins contained in carrots, they need to be eaten correctly.
Roskachestvo reports on how to do this correctly, citing the top-category endocrinologist, candidate of medical sciences, and nutritionist Elena Syurakshina.
Benefits of carrots
The specialist advises eating the root vegetable raw and cooked, as well as squeezing out the juice.
In the latter case, there is less vitamin C, but vitamins A and E are preserved.
The vegetable is rich in carotene (8 times more than in tomatoes).
It also contains vitamins E, C, K, B3, B4 and B5, minerals calcium, sodium, phosphorus, potassium and magnesium.
How to eat carrots correctly
But the amount of vitamins does not guarantee their complete absorption.
For example, if you have problems with digestion, you can steam carrots, boil them “al dente”.
But that's not the main thing. The vitamin A it contains is absorbed only with fats.
Therefore, it is best to eat carrots with sour cream, natural yogurt or cheese, as well as with vegetable oil.
Carrots also go well with red meat, which helps to absorb iron (from meat), and fats will improve the absorption of vitamin A.
Earlier we talked about why red beans are considered a superfood .
