Carrots are a root vegetable, usually orange or white in colour with a woody texture. Carrots grow in the ground and it is their roots which are commonly consumed. Carrots are used extensively in daily Indian cooking and are eaten raw or cooked.
Carrots are a part of many popular diets like vegan, keto, and paleo as they make for a healthy snack - you can slice them into sticks and eat them with hummus or a yoghurt-based dip. If you don’t prefer crunchy carrots, you can steam, boil, or roast them and serve them as a side dish. They also work well in savoury dishes like beef stew, chicken pot pie, or stir-fry.
