The Wonderful World of Carrots

How much do you really know about carrots?  Do you believe that the larger carrots are healthier?  What would you think if I told you that was a myth?  Organic and GMO free carrots are much smaller than genetically modified carrots.  In fact they have a less consistency in shape and size.  Carrots come in several colors such as orange (the most recognized), yellow, white, red and purple.  Carrots are a source of beta-carotene, fiber, vitamin K, potassium and contain antioxidants.  Carrots have been associated with lower cholesterol levels and they are considered to be a weight loss friendly vegetable.  Carrots can be enjoyed cooked or eaten raw.  I like to bake carrots with olive oil, cinnamon and nutmeg.  Whatever your preferred style for eating carrots, I hope you will enjoy them.  Also, please look for the many colors of carrots at your local farmers' market.
