~Why we love Carrot cakes~ A study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that the bio-availability of beta-carotene increases as a carrot is processed. If you grate d carrot your system gets more beta-carotene out of the experience, up to 21% of the total nutrient depending on how finely it’s reduced. Cooking d carrot raises d bio-availbility to 27% & adding oil to d equation boosts total beta-carotene bio-availability to 39% (because carotenoids are soluble in fat). Carrot cake contains grated carrot, and delivers it to the body in cooked form along with a healthy dose of vegetable oil, in addition to the pleasure, you get a large dose of vitamin A when you eat carrot cake. Its definitely a NICE SLICE of value added to your experience.
