Oiling your root, for the sake of your body
My guest last night left Wiltshire convinced the locals are touched after the late night conversation at the bar descended into an argument as to the difference in taste between ringed and julienned carrots. Simple folk who can't taste the difference were relentless mocked.
Maybe I shouldn't have then brought up the arguement that carrots should be cooked whole and then cut because it started to get ugly then...
I have checked and found evidence to prove me right - and also another snippet of advice...
Carrots are best boiled whole - read the research
...mix carrots with a little fat, such as butter or olive oil. Not only does it enhance the taste, but because many important nutrients from plants are fat-soluble you'll actually absorb fewer of them if your diet is low in fat
So more butter on my carrots for my health's sake!
