Carrots are root vegetables, which are slightly sweet to chew and can be eaten raw or cooked. The absorption of carotene is what happens in the small intestine, and it has nothing to do with whether there is oil in the pot, meat oil or vegetable oil. As long as there is fat in the food entering the small intestine, it is enough to help carotene absorption.

Even if raw carotene is difficult to be absorbed, it will be absorbed and utilized in the oil of the next meal. So of course you can eat it raw!

Carrot myth: Soluble in oil is not equal to frying!

Although carrots and oil will make absorption better and nutrition more balanced. But frying is actually the worst way to cook carrots, which will cause the loss of a lot of nutrients and greatly reduce its nutritional value.

According to the rumor that carrots should be fried more, carotene will lose more. Because it is afraid of frying temperature and exposure to oxygen under hot oil.

Moreover, carotene is easily soluble in oil and fried in a lot of oil. A lot of carotene is dissolved in oil and sticks to the plate on the wall of the pot. If you do this, you can only "drink oil".
