I take carrot as fruit. I like to have raw carrot. It is crisp and sweet. But I don't like to cook it as vegetable and I don't like the special flavour. If I will get rid of the special flavour I have to cook for a long time and it will waste time and gas.

Carrot is definitely a vegetable,as they do not carry the seeds.carrots has an effect on eyesight.Clearly raw carrots has more goodness in it when it is raw But,unless the carrot is juiced and consumed,the body cannot break down the goodness.So,in reality unlike more other vegetables carrots are more nutritious when eaten cooked than eaten raw(except when juiced).Also,it is usual to cut carrots into pieces and eaten after boiling or steaming,but done in this way half the proteins and soluble carbohydrates will be lost.So,it is best for you to cook them whole and and then cut up.

I will study recipes carefully and try to find a good way to cook carrot, then try to eat it up.

I'm not so sure. One thing I can tell you that is I enjoy eating fruits more than vegetables. It seldom that I get to eat good fruits. I guess carrots is more on the vegetable side. I like vegetables too but not as much as fruits. I get to eat veetables more often than fruits. I see carrots better if it is stewed wih beef. I like to eat carrots raw too. I like carrots in salads or just eating them plain alone. I do it with cucumbers too. Want too enjoy one now while myloting?

Dear friend,
I have carrot juice, have it raw, make curries with it, have it cooked with other vegetables. We mostly consider it as a vegetable. I too like carrots. Sometime we make it a small dish like cutting it into pieces, put some salt and ginger and masalas mix it with the pieces of carrot and drop into a boiling coconut oil. It tastes good after taken it out. May be all may not like its taste we just use it as a mall side dish only. Also we use carrots mostly with other vegetables too.

I eat raw carrot many times,it juicy and sweet and is as good as an apple so why not eat it raw?the carrot is also very good if its grated and then its used as a salad ingredient,a big pile of grated carrot is lovely,I prefer my carrots raw as when they are cooked the sweetness is missing from them,and they are often a bit soggy,too

Hi, we either take it as a drink or a vegetable dish.
We blend it with fresh milk and chill it - it's really delicious. Or slice the carrots, and cook in soups (with potatoes, onions and meat) or as part of a mixed vegetable dish (brocolli and oyster sauce).
