THE CARROT

Among of all of crops, the richest treasure in the garden is certainly the Carrot, since it has a lot of medicinal properties. Once upon a time people were very happy that instead of gold in the ground they at least found Carrots.

Older people were saying that the Carrot gives your body the blood. It is now scientifically proven that Carrot increases the number of red blood cells and that it is the best medicine for the liver.

Every year I grow crops and most of the garden space I have reserved for Carrot. Usually I plant one big patch of red Carrot and one another patch of yellow Carrot, because it contains a lot of vitamins, such as: vitamin E, vitamin H (known as fertility vitamin), vitamin A, B1, B2, potassium, folic acid, etc.

 

Respiratory problems, especially in the winter, I reliving them with Carrot juice, which I drink early in the morning. Also the Carrot juice helps against anemia and digestive disorders.

About a year ago I had problems with my hair loss. I removed this scourge with the Carrot. I ate raw Carrot, I made a salad from it, cooked Carrot soup or make some sauce from it.  After a month and a half my hair loss problems had disappeared. It wasn’t so important how I made it, raw or cooked, but it only mattered that I ate it.

After my children got older than four months, I was making Carrot based foods almost every day for them, because it’s healthy for eyes and mucous membrane.

Baby diarrhoea can be as severe nuisance, I know it myself. When my children had digestive problems, for that I cooked Carrot soup, this is the oldest, tested, natural cure, that’s why I recommend it to all young mothers.

RECIPE FOR BABIES (with digestion problems), RED CARROT porridge:

 

We can make it like this:

 

1. First we have to wash a quarter of a kilogram of RED Carrot.

2. Then we skin the Carrot and cut it on circles or squares.

3. After that we put it in cooker and pour a half of litre of water, then you cook the Carrot until is soft but do not overcook it.

4. Then we mix Carrot in blender and add some boiling water, salt, if it’s necessary.

JThe baby meal is done. Usually takes 3 to 4 days for digestion to regulate.

I also reduce problems with excess stomach acid with Carrot soup. I cook some Carrots, cut it in circles and salt it, pour some water and cook it for 20 minutes. I eat warm soup. This Carrot soup treatment for stomach acid lasts for 2 weeks.

Carrot absorbs excess juices in the stomach, that’s why it’s appropriate to eliminate heartburn.

Carrot supplies us with carotenoids (especially with vitamin A) and protects us from carcinogenesis, especially from the lungs and prostate. Very important carotenes are alpha and beta.

In the kitchen we use the Carrot at least three times a week in soups, side dishes, salads, desserts and even for decoration purposes, because of its colour (orange is a happy colour) It puts me in a good mood.

For Carrot (especially baby Carrots) we say that it is a hormone of happiness, because it contains a lot of folic acid.
