The eater does not need an excuse to eat sweets. Be it festivals, birthdays or just weekends, we foodies love to celebrate everything with some delicious sweets. While vegetables are not a popular choice for dessert, there is one vegetable that makes up some of our favorite desserts – that is carrots. Carrot is a seasonal vegetable that is available during winters and is known to have various health benefits. Carrots are high in beta-carotene which gets converted into vitamin A in the body which is extremely healthy for our eyesight, teeth and skin. They are also rich in anti-oxidants and alkaline elements which act as blood purifiers. Eating carrots regularly can help in reducing the high levels of uric acid and other toxins in our body.
They are sweet and pleasant and add a subtle flavor to whatever you cook with it. Here are some delicious carrot-based desserts that you must try this cold season.
