Carrot is a crispy and nutritious home-cooked dish. To fully absorb carotene, we should pay attention to the diet. The scientific and reasonable eating method is: carrots should be cooked before eating, and there are two best cooking methods to maintain their nutrition: one is to cut carrots into pieces, add condiments and fry them with enough oil; The second is to cut carrots into blocks, add seasonings, and stew them with pork, beef and mutton in a pressure cooker 15 ~ 20 minutes. Carotene is easy to be oxidized. Cooking in pressure cooker can reduce the contact between carrots and air, and the preservation rate of carotene can reach 97%.
