Did you know grated carrots lose vitamins rapidly when exposed to air? It's a shame, since they're packed with provitamin A, B1, B2, B3, B6, C, E, iron, phosphorus, and potassium.
Fortunately, this proven trick locks in their full nutritional value until mealtime: sprinkle with fresh lemon juice. See how:
1. Peel your carrots.
2. Wash under running water.
3. Grate them.
4. Squeeze lemon juice.
5. Drizzle over the grated carrots.
Your carrots retain all vitamins, staying fresh until served. Simple, fast, and effective!
