August -- Raw Carrots

The carrot is a root vegetable that is usually orange in color but the first carrots were grown in Asia and they were not orange.  Carrots can also be purple, black, red, white and yellow. Carrots are one of the ten most economically important vegetables crops in the world.  China produces 45% of the world total while the United States produces 4%. There are two seasons a year for carrots, spring and fall,
th
ough they can be found in supermarkets year round.  They are best stored in a refrigerator.

Carrots can be eaten raw, steamed, boiled, roasted and as an ingredient in many soups, stews, salads, sandwiches and baked goods.

Eating carrots daily has many health benefits. One cup of sliced, raw carrots provide 113% of vitamin A, 18% vitamin K, 105 vitamin B6, 10% vitamin C.  They also contain smaller percentages of potassium, vitamin B3, vitamin B1, manganese, copper, folate, phosphorus, vitamin B2 and vitamin E.  There are 50 calories in one cup of sliced, raw carrots.   If one eats an excessive amount of carrots it can cause an orange discoloration of the skin. This is not harmful to your health but you may want to consider reducing your carrot intake!
