Because my sister also has a baby, and today happens to be her first birthday, so I pay more attention to such questions. Sometimes I have the same questions as you, but the answer to this question is yes. If your baby likes carrots, he can eat them in moderation, which is beneficial. Because carrots contain a large amount of carotene (provitamin A) and minerals such as calcium, iron, and phosphorus, each 100 grams of carrot contains 25-30 mg of carotene, and is known as "ginseng." Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the nutritional value of carrots is superior to other vegetables. Giving carrots to children regularly is beneficial to their healthy growth.

Carrots also have a good preventive effect on respiratory infections. As winter turns to spring and the climate becomes warmer, various germs are easy to breed. Children at home during winter vacation should eat more of these vegetables to enhance their resistance. In addition, carrots are good for the stomach and intestines, prevent night blindness, rickets, and cancer. It is easily absorbed by the body and its nutritional value remains unchanged even under high temperature conditions.

After carotene enters the human body, it can be converted into vitamin A. Let children eat carrots regularly, which can provide rich carotene and supplement vitamin A deficiency. In addition, its rich pectin and alkaline substances can reduce the acidity of the gastrointestinal tract and absorb toxins and bacteria in the intestines.

Although carrots are rich in nutrients, some children don’t like to eat them. By the way, I would like to introduce you to a few recipes for cooking carrots:

Carrots in milk: Cut the carrots into small pieces and put them in a pot, cook them with broth for 20-30 minutes, add a little peanut oil and an appropriate amount of Salt and sugar. Put two spoons of peanut oil in another pot, add two spoons of flour and stir-fry briefly. Pour in 1 and a half cups of milk and mix well. Add a little less salt and cook for 10-15 minutes. Then pour it into the previous pot and stir well.

Carrot puree: Steam the carrot until soft and rub it into puree, then add thick milk (see above for the recipe), add appropriate amount of salt and sugar, and steam over the fire. Stir evenly after cooking. For children who like the taste of butter, you can mix in a little butter and eat it hot. It tastes good.

Fried carrot balls: grate raw carrots, heat milk, a little butter and sugar, simmer over low heat until soft, then add some flour to make a thin paste, stir constantly, cook until thick, let cool After a while, add two raw eggs and a little salt, mix well, shape into balls while hot, dip in bread crumbs, and fry in oil pan.
