Culinary Tips

• Scrub carrots under running water. Peeling removes the nutrients located just under the skin.
• Eat carrots raw to receive the most nutrients, cut into sticks or grate into many types of salads.
• Slice and steam for 5-10 min or saute in butter, top with honey for a sweet dish.
• Add to soups, stir-fries, stews, & casseroles.
• Steam and puree carrots add cream, onions, leeks, freshly grated ginger, or soy sauce for a simple soup.
• To roast carrots, cut in large chunks, dot with butter and place in an oven-proof dish. Cover and bake in a 350° oven for 40 min.
• You can also simmer the carrots in a stock instead of butter.
