Carrots
Your mom was right about carrots. They truly are good for your eyes and rumor has it that simply eating one carrot a day can cut the rate of lung cancer in half. And this on top of all the other health benefits they offer. Wowza!
Cooked or raw, carrots most definitely belong in our diet. Here you’ll find some of our favorite ways to prepare them, from silky soups to vegan carrot cake to simply roasted or tossed in slaws and salads.

Thich Nhat Hanh said it best: “ If you truly get in touch with a piece of carrot, you get in touch with the soil, the rain, the sunshine. You get in touch with Mother Earth and eating in such a way, you feel in touch with true life, your roots, and that is meditation. If we chew every morse of our food in that way we become grateful and when you are grateful, you are happy. “Â
