Carrots can be eaten in a variety of ways. They are often chopped and [[boiled carrots]], fried or steamed, and cooked in soups and stews. A well known dish is [[carrots julienne]]. Grated carrots are used in carrot cakes, as well as carrot puddings, an old English dish thought to have originated in the early 1800s. Together with [[onion]] and [[celery]], carrots are one of the primary vegetables used in a [[mirepoix]] to make [[various broths]].

Carrot juice is also widely marketed, especially as a health drink, either stand alone or blended with fruits and other vegetables.

Try grating them with a little [[lemon juice]] in a salad.
===How to stop carrots going soft===
Store them in the fridge, if you can buy them with the leaves attached, this also helps prevent them for going bendy!
