HEALTH & BENEFITS

Carrots are known for their exceptional nutritional content, particularly beta-carotene, which is converted into vitamin A in the body. Also, carrots are high in fiber, which can help you feel full and satisfied after a meal. Moreover, ginger is a root vegetable that has been used in traditional medicine to treat the digestive system. Ginger contains compounds called gingerols and shogaols that have potent anti-inflammatory effects.
