Carrots, whether eaten raw or cooked, are nutritious. They taste good when eaten raw. For example, they can be mixed with shredded carrots. They taste sweet and crisp. Carrots are rich in carotene, which will eventually be converted into vitamin A, which is quite good for the body. What's the advantage of eating carrots? Come and have a look.
Carrots contain a lot of carotene and vitamins, but carrots contain less fat, and vitamins and carotene can be fully absorbed only when they are immersed in fat. So when you eat carrots, you'd better stew them with beef, followed by mutton. Besides meat, you can also eat them with peanuts. The nutritional value of carrot is quite large, and the content of carotene is among the best in vegetables. Carotene is converted into vitamin A by enzymes in the small intestine. Vitamin A can maintain the normal function of epithelial cells, prevent respiratory tract infection, promote human growth and development, and participate in the formation of rhodopsin.
However, carotene is a fat soluble substance. Only when it is dissolved in oil, it can be transformed into vitamin A under the action of carotene enzyme in human liver and intestinal wall, which can be absorbed by human body. If raw carrots are eaten, 90% of the carotenes will be excreted as "passers-by" of the human body, which will not play a nutritional role. So carrots should not be eaten raw.
The content of plant fiber in carrot is relatively rich. This kind of plant fiber can be supplemented by eating carrot raw. This material has relatively good water absorption. Eating carrot raw can enhance the peristalsis function of gastrointestinal tract, so it can help digestion. Carrots contain some hypoglycemic substances. If you have diabetes, eating carrots properly can reduce blood sugar. People with coronary heart disease or high blood pressure can eat carrots raw.
