The therapeutic benefits of carrot porridge

Nourishes the spleen and stomach, relieves the middle and lower qi

Experts from the Japan Food Research Association pointed out that carotene is mainly present under the skin, and carrot peel is only a thin layer that is almost transparent, so peeling the skin before eating is equivalent to artificially wasting most of the carotene.

Some supermarkets sell carrots with bright colors and translucent bodies. In fact, most of these carrots have been processed by vegetable farmers. When brushing away the dirt with a fine brush, a very thin layer of carrot skin is also removed. Therefore, it is best to eat carrots with the skin. When washing, you don’t need to peel them, just wipe them gently.

In addition, it is a misunderstanding in life to think that carrots are durable in storage. Studies have shown that compared with cucumbers, lettuce and tomatoes, carrots lose the most water after being exposed to the air for 3 days, and water loss will take away precious carotene. Microwave ovens can help lock in nutrients. Cut the washed carrots into pieces, put them in a heat-resistant container, sprinkle a little water, and then heat them in a microwave for 6 minutes. After cooling, store them in a sealed container. They can be kept fresh for 5 days in the refrigerator and about 2 months in the freezer.
