Something a little different! 🥕British Carrot Day🥕
Very healthy choice… and my little Archie doing a great job “modelling” 😆
🥕'British Carrot Day is THE day to celebrate the British carrot and our growers.' British Carrot Growers Association are encouraging the UK population to ‘go out and buy, cook, eat and get creative with carrots.’ It appears wee Archie has skipped a few steps and headed straight to the creative phase!
Carrots are one of the nation’s favourite vegetables and it’s easy to see why. Not only are they affordable, tasty, nutritious, super versatile, we’re supporting UK farmers too when we buy British.
‘Carrots are packed with a nutrient called beta-carotene, which is converted into vitamin A in the body.’ States British Carrot Growers Association ’Of all fruit and vegetables, carrots are actually the best source of beta-carotene. No surprise then that an 80g serving of cooked carrots contains more than twice the recommended daily amount (RDA) of vitamin A equivalent needed by adults. This is good news as many children and adults have poor intakes of this nutrient.’
