2. Pay attention to the preservation of carrots

After we buy carrots, we can cut off the green top cover of carrots and put them in plastic bags, so as to prevent the water in carrots from losing. In addition, carrots must stay away from apples, potatoes and other foods that release ethylene to ripen.

3, it is best to eat cooked carrots.

We all know that carotene exists in the cell wall of carrots, and the cell wall is made of cellulose, which cannot be directly digested by the human body, so it is best to cook it before eating, so that carotene can be released and absorbed by the human body.

Add some oil when cooking carrots.

When cooking carrots, it is best to put some oil, which is beneficial to the dissolution of fat-soluble nutrients.

5. Don't eat with white radish.

Carrots contain enzymes that decompose vitamin C, while white radishes are rich in vitamin C. If these two foods are eaten together, it will affect people's absorption of vitamin C.

The above points are what we should pay attention to when eating, preserving and cooking carrots. We should not only know that carrots are high-value vegetables, but also know how to better absorb nutrients and make the best use of them.
