Carrots are nutritious whether eaten raw or cooked, mainly depending on what nutrients the body needs. If carrots are eaten raw, they can be supplemented with more water-soluble vitamins, such as vitamin B and vitamin C, because these vitamins are afraid of heat and will be lost during cooking and heating. Carrots are rich in carotene, which is a fat-soluble vitamin. Carrots need to be cooked before eating, which is easier to absorb, especially after being cooked in oil. Cooking carrot has high nutritional value, simple eating method and soft taste. Especially for babies who don't like vegetables, eating some steamed carrots properly has a good conditioning and health care effect, which is beneficial to promoting the baby's development.

When carrots are cooked, their nutritional value will be higher. This is because after the carrot is steamed, the cell wall will crack, which can promote the precipitation of carotene and is more conducive to the absorption of nutrients by the human body. Carotene can be fried, which is more conducive to human absorption.

Because carotene is a fat-soluble vitamin, it can be better absorbed by the human body only if it is dissolved in oil. Therefore, adding a little sesame oil or vegetable oil when steaming carrots is beneficial to the human body to absorb nutrients. Try not to eat carrots raw. Although they are nutritious, they are not as valuable as eating them after cooking.
