Carrot (sticks)

Description

Carrot sticks are a crunchy, sweet, and slightly earthy vegetable snack with an intense orange color and smooth texture, easy to serve and visually appealing as a snack or side dish. They are low in calories, rich in fiber, beta-carotene which converts to vitamin A, and antioxidants, and also provide potassium, vitamins K and C, supporting vision, immunity, skin health, and proper digestion. Carrot sticks are great as a snack with dips, an addition to salads, crudités, salads, and wraps, as well as for frying, baking, soups, stews, pickling, or juicing. They are best stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container or perforated bag with a slightly damp paper towel; trim the greens, and store the cut sticks briefly in water, changing it regularly.
