March 6, 2008

It is National Nutrition Month, so I wanted to highlight one of my favorite veggies – the humble yet versatile carrot. There are some lingering myths about this orange vegetable, or are they myths. Take this short quiz and see if you know what is fact and what is fiction when it comes to carrots.

Your skin turns that color because Vitamin A (same with D, E and K)is a fat soluble vitamin. If you have to much you can't just pee it out, it stays in your adipose tissue.

yay 3/3!!! i love carrots. but, did u know that the baby carrots arent as healthy 4 u . evn if u get organic ones they use chemicals to die the greenish color carrots after they are cut into thesre cute shape. ur better off just cutting your own carrots for snacking!

I had a friend, who when she was pregnant with her second kid, was addicted to baby carrots. She ate them incessantly.Well when she gave birth, she SWEARS that the kid came out sort of orange & it took her a few weeks to shed the color.I thought it was hysterical :o)
