Carrots can be eaten raw as a snack, sliced in salads, sautéed or roasted.

Carrot juice is great for periodic liver cleansing, but note that for more frequent use, you might want to dilute it, as it can spike your blood sugar.

I like to buy them with their greens attached because then I know that they're fresh. Plus, my chickens love the greens!
