Carrots Go Incognito
Well, maybe. In this era of deli foods, fast food, junk food there is sometimes a need for ingenuity to provide good nutrients to a family.
Research shows that carrots help prevent cancer, reduce the risk of heart attacks by up to 60%, helps regulate blood sugar and valuable in a number of other health areas. Shred a few carrots when you have an extra minute and keep in the fridge to pop into just about anything you are making.
If you have members in the family who are tired or don’t like carrots try putting 1/2 cup finely shredded into:
- In spaghetti sauce. Totally masks the flavour and if you are not too generous doesn’t change the texture. No one in my family has detected them yet.
- All baked goods, cookies, cakes, breads, pancakes, waffles are fine, but be judicious about the amount so the carrots go undetected.
- Milkshakes and health drinks.
- Casseroles, salads, mashed potatoes and canned soups.
