Small/Medium sized carrots... Perfect for the lunchbox
Carrots are full of sulfur & glutathione which helps in the detoxification process, especially when eaten raw.
Buy carrots without the greenery still on them, otherwise those pretty leafy tops will act like nutrient vampires sucking out the vitamins & moisture before you can eat the carrots.
Purefresh Organic is doing its bit to ensure that the credibility of the organic industry remains unchallenged & that consumers can trust they are eating the genuine article.
Carrots pair well with mild or strong flavours... use spices like; cinnamon, cumin, coriander, ginger, nutmeg & paprika, along with herbs: dill, fennel, parsley, rosemary, sage, thyme, basil & garlic
