Because eating carrots and white radishes together is very detrimental to the absorption of nutrients.
Individually, both carrots and white radishes are nutrient-rich foods.

In addition, white radish contains a lot of digestive enzymes starch, can prevent excessive stomach acid, to promote digestion function is very useful, suitable for gastritis patients to eat.
Carrots contain more potassium, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other inorganic salts, but more importantly, they are rich in carotene. Carotene can be transformed into vitamin A by the wall of the small intestine, which can play a role in relieving fatigue for people who use their eyes excessively and often stay up late.
But if you make a dish with carrots and white radish, although it looks very nice red and white, it is actually not scientific.
Because the carrots contain a substance called unleavened enzymes, which can destroy the white radish content of vitamin C.
Additionally, although the carrots are known as the "treasure trove of vitamin A", but the vitamin A is a fat-soluble substance, and only with the cooking oil or meat cooking, can be fully absorbed by the human body.
So, carrots are not suitable for eating raw. In terms of cooking methods, stewing carrots in a pressure cooker is better. Because it reduces the contact between carrots and air, so that the preservation rate of beta-carotene can be as high as 97%, the digestive absorption rate in the body can reach 90%.
