Ray Peat Carrot Salad Health Benefits.

[Yvonne Smith]

I have been reading about the Ray Peat carrot salad, and how beneficial it is supposed to be for your health. It is hard for me to thoroughly chew raw carrots , so what I have been doing is putting the carrots in the blender with some pineapple juice, and sometimes an apple, fresh pineapple, or a slice of cantalope, and drinking it instead.

I almost always buy one or two large bags of carrots when I get groceries. I can still chomp them down raw yet, though the really big ones get cut into shorter sticks and quartered at the fat end.

While I use them in cooking as well, for a long time now I pretty much just eat 'em all raw. In the Summer I don't make a lot of soups or casseroles.

I also try to get in at least one apple each day, though not always a big one. I bought some frozen pineapple chunks recently as another treat, since they also keep well.

Being lazy I don't like mucking around with blenders and gooed-up glasses that need to be cleaned all the time.
