So, hello. In this post I am going to be talking about the beautiful, delicious, delicacy known as carrots. Yes, carrots. Now, no wonder your parents always tell you to eat them because besides from strengthening your eyes, they give you cat like superpowers. They are also filled with beta carotene, Vitamin C, potassium, along with a but ton of Vitamin A. Also, fun fact, even just half a cup of cooked or raw carrots contains about 204% of your daily recommended value. I don’t know who’s eating a half cup of raw carrots but alright. Oh yeah, the best way to eat carrots is just put it in a pan with a bit of butter then add honey and sugar until the carrots are softened, trust me it may cause diabetes but trust me it’s worth it.
