COLOURFUL CARROTS

My Knowledge about the wonderful carrots:

The Carrots has a thick, fleshy, deeply colored roots, which grows underground and feathery green leaves that emerge above the ground. It is scientifically known as Daucos carota. Carrots are excellent source of antioxidant compounds, and the richest vitamin source of pro-vitamins A carotenes. Carrot's antioxidant compounds help to protect against cardiovascular disease and cancer and also promotes good vision, especially night vision. Intake of food such as carrots that are rich in cartenoids may be beneficial to blood sugar regulation. The carrots can be eaten in a variety of ways. They can be either boiled, fried or steamed and cooked in soups and stews, as well as baby and pet foods. The baby carrots or mini-carrots is cut into pieces and are a popular ready to eat snacks available in the supermarkets.
