Hello Easter and carrot recipes! Of course you can make this at any time of the year, but we thought it was very fitting for now! We love creating recipes for our special clients and this was made for Murray River Salt, our absolute favourite craft salt. It is never difficult to come up with recipes for them! (I would guess that almost every recipe on this site has a pinch of pink!)
Some of the benefits for adding more carrots to your diet are as follows, and yes, all those times your mum said to eat your carrots so you could see better was legit!
- Improved Vision: Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A, essential for good vision.
- Antioxidant Properties: Carrots contain antioxidants that help protect cells from damage, reducing the risk of chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease.
- Heart Health: The fiber and potassium in carrots support heart health by reducing cholesterol levels and regulating blood pressure.
- Digestive Health: Carrots are high in fiber, aiding digestion and promoting regularity.
- Skin Health: The beta-carotene in carrots can contribute to healthy skin by protecting against sun damage and promoting collagen production.
- Weight Management: Low in calories and high in fiber, carrots can help with weight management by promoting satiety and aiding in calorie control.
- Immune Support: The vitamins and antioxidants in carrots support a healthy immune system, helping the body fight off infections and illnesses.
SO...eat more chocolate at Easter time, but also eat more carrots...you may find there is a zero net effect with the chocolate! (We can dream, can't we?)
