I remember as a child hearing all about how good carrots are for your eyesight. Since then, I've learned about the many other great benefits of this root I have come to love so much. Besides all the health benefits they offer, carrots are a particularly good ally of the diet when you're looking to shed a few pounds. That is why this post is another fantastic excuse to incorporate carrots, with a kick of ginger to bring out the sweetness that is already there and waiting to explode. Hope you like it!
