Studies have shown that carrots are a multi-effect health care vegetable. Eat carrots, have a role in the prevention of heart disease, cancer, anemia, vision loss, diabetes. However, to achieve disease prevention and health effects, carrots are eaten with particular attention.
People eat carrots are common ways of eating raw, chopped salad, or fried with other vegetables. In fact, these are not very consistent with the principle of nutrition. Because the main nutrient in carrots is β-carotene, it exists in the cells of carrots, and the cell wall is made of cellulose, which cannot be directly digested by the human body, but breaks down the cell wall by cutting, cooking, and chewing. Beta-carotene can be released and absorbed by the body.
It is best to stew carrots in a pressure cooker to reduce the contact between carrots and air. The preservation rate of β-carotene can be as high as 97%. Studies have shown that the digestion and absorption rate of β-carotene in the human body is closely related to the amount of fat used in cooking. After cooked with a sufficient amount of cooking oil, the digestibility of β-carotene in the body can reach 90%. Because β-carotene is a fat-soluble substance, it is only soluble in oil and insoluble in water.
Therefore, there are two ways to maintain the nutrition of carrots: one is to slice the carrots, add the seasonings, and then fry them with enough oil. Second, cut the carrots into pieces and add the seasonings. Pork, beef, mutton, etc. are cooked together in a pressure cooker for 15 to 20 minutes.
Note that carrots should not be served. Studies have found that the carotene, which is abundant in carrots, enters the body together with alcohol and causes toxins in the liver, causing liver disease. Therefore, the "carrot drink" is not healthy to eat, especially after drinking carrot juice should not drink immediately.
