A bunch of carrots

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.
