Carrot: verdict by goal
The details
Blood sugar: Sweeter than leafy veg but high in fibre and eaten in modest amounts — fine raw/cooked for a blood-sugar reset; just not a big cooked pile on strict keto.
How to choose: Firm, bright, no cracks.
How to use it: Raw sticks, roasted, or in stews.
How to store: Fridge crisper.
Sensible portion: 1 medium, daily
