Carrots, Nutritious and Delicious

    


                         What's so Good About Carrots?                                                                                                                                                                                                           Carrots are considered by many as the most nurtitious vegetable around.

They are a favorite among dieters.  Why?  They are only 41 calories contained in  2 medium size carrots.

Carrots are a particularly good source of beta carotene, fiber, vitamin K1, potassium, and antioxidants.

They are very low in fat (0.2 grams per carrot).

The antioxidants contained in carrots are linked to a lower risk of cancer.

They are so versatile.  You can eat them raw or cooked.

It has been said that not only do they improve eye sight but they help lower cholesterol.

Sprinkle lightly with confectioners' sugar before serving.                                                                                                                                                                            24K Carrots
