Notes on eating carrots:

1. Carrots and peppers should not be eaten raw together.

In addition to containing a large amount of carotene, carrots also contain vitamin C-decomposing enzymes, while peppers are rich in vitamin C, so carrots should not be eaten raw together with peppers, otherwise the nutritional value of peppers will be reduced. However, vitamin C decomposing enzyme is not heat-resistant and can be destroyed at 50℃, so there is no need to worry when eating it cooked.

2. Carrots are afraid of acidity.

Do not add vinegar when frying. Carrots contain a lot of carotene. It is best to fry carrots in oil or stew them with meat. Carotene is afraid of acidity, so avoid adding vinegar when eating carrots.

3. Do not eat carrots and white radish together.
