First of all, how long does it take to steam carrots?
About ten minutes, steam until soft. It is recommended to put a little salad oil when steaming. Because the nutrients of carrots are oil-soluble, they will come out with some oil and be absorbed more easily.
Second, how to steam carrots?

Third, are carrots nutritious when steamed?
Carrots are the most nutritious and scientific when cooked!
I know that people's habit of eating carrots is mostly raw, shredded, vermicelli and other cold dishes, or sliced and fried with other vegetables. As everyone knows, this is not in line with the principles of nutrition. Because the main nutrient in carrots, beta-carotene, exists in the cell wall of carrots, and the cell wall is made of cellulose, which cannot be directly digested by human body. Only after chopping and cooking can the cell wall be destroyed and β -carotene be released and absorbed by the human body.
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%.
However, female friends need to pay attention. Carrots are rich in vitamins. Eating too many carrots can easily cause irregular menstruation and lead to infertility. A study by Johns Hopkins Medical College found that excessive carotene can affect the synthesis of lutein in ovaries.
