Carrots

(Carrots) Carrots are one of the staples in our diet. We use them raw as snack food, in salads, with dips, in veggie drinks and even in some fruit smoothies. Carrots are great in roasted veggies and in many other recipes. Select carrots that are firm and free of mold or signs of rotting. Since most carrots are sold in printed bags, it is important to look closely to make sure the carrots are in good condition. Store carrots in the vegetable bin of your refrigerator. See the nutritional charts for raw and cooked carrots, and note the significant differences. This is one of the vegetables in which cooking can increase some of the nutritional attributes, and lower others. Our conclusion is that carrots should be eaten both raw and cooked.

The above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live! (d-27)
