Sweet and Sour Carrot Salad

Here’s a very simple and delicious carrot salad where steamed carrots are used instead of raw ones. Did you know that lightly cooking carrots and adding olive oil helps your body absorb beta-carotene more effectively? Steamed carrots may also be easier to digest.

Of course, raw carrots have their own benefits too (for example, they contain more vitamin C), so it’s a good idea to enjoy carrots both raw and steamed!
