carrots healthier and tastier if cooked whole

[ReneRusso]

read on the news that it is better to cook carrots whole see here as more nutrients are retained like this. I tried it tonight and they were delicious. So much more flavour. My DCs agreed.

Did it take much longer to boil?

[ReneRusso]

yes at least 10 minutes

I've been wondering about this. What if you're making soup though? Do the nutrients stay in the water?

If I click on the movie in the link will I just be watching 1 min and 50 seconds of a carrot cooking in a saucepan?

Presumably you are not supposed to peel them either?

[ReneRusso]

I did peel mine actually and chopped the ends off but I think you're not supposed to. Old habbits die hard.

[ReneRusso]

habits also

Really annoys me when reports like this leave out salient info - we need to KNOW about the peeling issue!
