Carrots are fat-soluble substances, so they should not be eaten raw or in excess, otherwise the liver will not be able to metabolize them, and if there is too much carotene in the blood, the skin will turn yellow. Eating carrots in moderation has the effects of benefiting the liver and improving eyesight, benefiting the diaphragm and widening the intestines, invigorating the spleen and eliminating malnutrition, enhancing immune function, lowering blood sugar and lipids, etc.
*Edible Compatibility：
Appropriate: Eating together with astragalus, pork belly or yam can strengthen the effect of tonifying weakness and relieving indigestion. Eating with pineapple can keep the cerebral blood vessels unblocked and reduce the incidence of cerebral hemorrhage.
Interaction: Eating with ginseng at the same time will cancel each other out. Because carrots contain vitamin C decomposing enzymes, eating raw together with peppers, tomatoes or radishes will decompose vitamin C and destroy the nutritional value.
It should not be eaten with alcohol, because carotene in carrots and alcohol enter the human body together to produce toxins in the liver, which can easily cause liver disease.
When eating carrots, it is advisable to eat them with vegetables rich in vitamin C (such as spinach, rapeseed, cauliflower, tomato, pepper, etc.), fruits (such as citrus, lemon, strawberry, dates, etc.), which will have a synergistic effect and increase the nutrition of carrots value.
The chewing time should not be too short, because some nutrients contained in carrots are insoluble in water, it is suitable to add cooking oil to increase nutrient absorption.
Cooking Skills：Carrots are widely used. Orientals mostly use them to cook soup or juice, and westerners use them to eat raw or cold salads. Since carotene and vitamin a are both fat-soluble, cooking with cooking oil will be better absorbed than raw or juiced. Because carotene and vitamin a are not destroyed by high heat, the nutritional content of cooked carrots will not change greatly. Since the rind is rich in carotene, don't peel it too thickly.
Notes：Carrots are generally misunderstood as unsuitable for diabetics due to their high glycemic index. In fact, since the structure of carrots is mostly water, a carrot only has about four grams of carbohydrates, and eating a lot of carrots will have the effect of a sharp increase in blood sugar. Diabetics do not need to quit eating carrots.
The recommended daily allowance for vitamin A for adults is about 800 micrograms retinol active equivalents, which is equivalent to half a medium carrot.

Excessive intake of vitamin A for a long time may inhibit bone building ability, thus leading to osteoporosis and fractures.
Dish：Green Carrot Pig Exhibition Soup, Corn Carrot Soup, Vegetarian Spring Rolls, Salad, etc.
Suggested Eating Method：
Carrots are widely used. Oriental people are mostly used to cook soup or juice, and Westerners are mostly used to eat or cold.

Because carotene and vitamin A will not be damaged by high fever, the nutritional content of carrots after cooking will not change greatly. Because the outer skin is rich in carotene, do not cut too thick when peeling.
