Carrots are not just a vegetable for salads. In a balanced diet, they work as:
- a source of fiber that supports digestion
- light carbohydrates that provide steady energy
- a food that helps control appetite
The main advantage is that carrots pair well with protein foods (eggs, yogurt, cheese), making breakfasts more balanced and nutritious.
