Carrots are an unsung beauty hero. The benefits of beta-carotene alone (that gorge red-orange pigment is a powerful antioxidant and a natural source of Vitamin A) make this veggie a fabulous health and beauty ally. In fact Norman Walker, my personal health and wellness hero, not only extolls the virtues of carrot juice and its healing properties in his book "Fresh Vegetable and Fruit Juices" but also points out the similarity between the carrot and human blood molecules. Pretty mind blowing!
Oddly enough, though I'm a juicing devotee, I'm not the kind who can guzzle a ton of pure raw carrot juice. But I make up for it by incorporating lots of carrots in my daily "diet". I'm a self-confessed shredded carrot fiend (I have to add a generous serving of shredded carrots to pretty much all my salads) but I also enjoy this sweet and tasty root in hearty raw vegan entrées like these super delish carrot and dill burgers.
As you know I'm big on greens so one of my fave ways to devour these nourishing and satisfying burgers is wrapped up in a huge collard green leaf with generous servings of veggies on the side. Today I'm going for some shredded carrots (de rigueur ;) accompanied with some red cabbage, romaine lettuce, red onion and my latest purple sauce/dip obsession (recipe coming next!).

Loving the idea of the collard green wrap! #yummy
I can already imaging myself making these for dinner. Sumptuous and healthy! Perfect combination
Your burger patty substitute is amaaazing!
I remember eating something like this in my fave korean resto. But I’m pretty sure this is waaaay better!
I am a carrot lover too! Thanks for featuring something about its health benefits.
