I've been worshipping the carrot lately. Raw, of course, skin on. 2 every day. Here are some facts about carrots:
Carrots are nutritional heroes, they store a goldmine of nutrients. No other vegetable or fruit contains as much carotene as carrots, which the body converts to vitamin A. This is a truly versatile vegetable and an excellent source of vitamins B and C as well as calcium pectate, an extraordinary pectin fibre that has been found to have cholesterol-lowering properties.
The carrot is an herbaceous plant containing about 87% water, rich in mineral salts and vitamins (B,C,D,E).
Raw carrots are an excellent source of vitamin A and potassium; they contain vitamin C, vitamin B6, thiamine, folic acid, and magnesium.
Cooked carrots are an excellent source of vitamin A, a good source of potassium, and contain vitamin B6, copper, folic acid, and magnesium. The high level of beta-carotene is very important and gives carrots their distinctive orange colour.
Carrots also contain, in smaller amounts, essential oils, carbohydrates and nitrogenous composites. They are well-known for their sweetening, antianaemic, healing, diuretic, remineralizing and sedative properties.
In order to assimilate the greatest quantity of the nutrients present in carrots, it is important to chew them well - they are the exception to the rule - they are more nutritious cooked than raw.
300 grams of raw carrot per day also help metabolise up to 50% more fats (and you poo more). So it's a shit hot way to lose weight as well. I feel heaps brighter and my eyes look super healthy.
This, my friends, is why you should eat carrots.
Love, Hatts.
Bullshit!
I've eaten two already today - and a mandarin and two sticks of celery - god I love carrots!
are you going to marry a carrot?
I remember getting to school one morning in Year 12 and overhearing the girl with the locker next to me say "Ha, that was so funny when I walked in on you on Saturday with that carrot up your arse"
im into the raw carrots too...
did the ckick from partridge family live of carrots?...apparently in turned her skin orange.
is ur skin going a bit orange manhattan?
Was she talking to you, blake?
"No other vegetable or fruit contains as much carotene as carrots"
well duh
I checked into a hotel room the other week in NZ and in the minibar were two giant carrots in a plastic bag...one of this was broken in half. There was some conjecture that the guests prior to us had been using them as dildos and one had broken in half because of vigorous application.
Ooooh! Great thread!
Since Saturday I have been having two raw carrots each day and I have to say I am loving it.
Word of warning though: I choked on one on the weekend and a piece got lodged in my nose (it arrived through my throat), and I had to do that bushy's hankie thing that footy players do, in the garden of the buddhist temple in Wollongong. I feel it is going to come back and get me somehow. So be careful.
Regardless: go carrots!
I have a close mate who was having sex with a girl and mid way through she introduced a carrot, into his anus.
He didn't mind.
Kind of kinky.
He loves carrots and that carrot loved him back.
did ya eat 'em, burt ?
No yellow skin. I'm not eating massive amounts, just two average sized ones a day. Usually people who go yellow from it have bad livers.
nah, I disposed of the plastic bag and had the Kit Kat instead.
Was she talking to you, blake?
HAHA! OOPS!
Forgot to mention she was talking to her best friend.
don't peel em
there was a girl in my year 12 class who injested nothing but carrots and diet coke for most of the year.
She went orange and started to smell of phenylanaline
you know when you eat some carrot and a little bit of it gets stuck in the back of yr throat and then you have to perform that kinda snot sucking action that you do before you hoik a loogie and then the carrot comes flying back into yr mouth with terminal velocity and you almost choke?
yeah i hate that.
I too am a big fan of the raw carrot (eating, not inserting). Raw organic carrots to snack on at work, with or without good quality hommus.
hmmm... in fact I might pop over to the organic grocer right now.
they are more nutritious cooked than raw
I did not know this.
Does sister still have a celery obsession? I wonder how nutritious it is. Hmmm.

inspired by this thread, I just went and bought two delicious organic carrots and they taste great.
Better than 'regular' carrots?
yeh, a bit less pesticide-y I guess.
BurtBacharach said 45 minutes agoBurtBacharachProfile, Message, TopicsJudging from the way she sucked that carrot, she'd suck something else equally well.
Lollipop? Pen? Pacifier?
Well, apart from the pacifier, she sucked both in class as well.
No, I was thinking she'd suck cock really well. And love every minute of it.
Hatts can you see better at night, like a kitty?

Funnily enough, my eyes have been clearer at a shorter distance. I've been taking my glasses of for computer work. And they feel more moist, when usually they're a little dry.

buhhahahahahahahaha
i used to work on a carrot conveyor belt and it was fucking stressful. the carrots would slip by us at lightning speed and we'd have to grab the best looking ones and toss them in boxes marked for japan. one of the chicks was really good at it and could grab 4 quality carrots at a time. she'd box 40 carrots while i was still holding 1 carrot and trying to decide whether it was good enough for import. occasionally she would take one of my carrots out of the box and hold it up in front of my face and yell 'YOU CALL THIS A GOOD CARROT?' then i got shifted to making the boxes for the carrots but i fucked that up too.
anyway, i don't have a lot of time for carrots unless they're grated.
and i have no time for carrots and parsnips mashed together.
is there a thread about celery? i love celery.
and there's a particular stall i get my carrots from weekly at the vic market. always good.
I haven't done the cottage cheese or peanut butter in celery for years. Might be a reason for that...
What did one snowman say to the other snowman?
I can smell carrots!
September used to put carrots in her box.
Lots of them.
HAR HAR HAR.
Is there a better arvo snack than a miso soup and an organic raw carrot?
Maybe, but this is pretty fuckin' great.
Someone painted a carrot gold and stuck it to a pole. I don't know what it means.
I managed to convince someone last night that it was the Swedes who invented the carrot.
Where do you stand on carrots in bolognese?
I witnessed a heated argument at the Afterdark the other night over said topic.
Vegtables are a Communist plot to make children weak and sickly
Grated carrot in bolognese is fine, as is grated zucchini.
