Thank you @dcrypto! My favorite way to eat carrots is to steam them with a little butter. Also just found a new recipe that I love for Maple Glazed Carrots! And shredded in salad! I have never been big on juicing but I like the carrots as a vitamin juice for my health.
Over the passed ten years or so, I found that the number one limiting factor to the strains of flues or cold that are going around the area of the world where I lived was Vit A!
