Vegetables, Carrots
One of the most versatile, low priced and popular vegetables in the UK, carrots have a sweet flavour, crisp texture and a distinctive orange colour. Baby carrots, which are cooked whole, are especially tender and sweet. Choose carrots that feel firm to the touch, have a smooth skin and a bright colour. Carrots can be eaten raw or cooked. Cooked carrots are a popular accompanying vegetable and combine particularly well with other root vegetables such as swede or parsnip.
They can be included in soups, stews and pies, Carrots are also included in a variety of sweet recipes, such as carrot cake and Christmas pudding. Your dog will like Carrots, but like most vegetables the fibre content is broken down by cooking. Boil Carrots until soft and tender, but only give a small amount with other vegetables and meat.
