Remarks of Carrots Puree:
Carrots are a rich source of carotene. The nutrient absorption of carrot carotene can be boosted by eating with foods containing oil such fried carrots and tempura dishes. Carotene is good for healthy development of the vision.
The oxidation of carrots affects the absorption of vitamin C in your diet. Eating fresh produce may be a way to ensure you are getting vitamin C from carrots.
