CARROT RECIPES

These carrot recipes use mostly readily available and nutritious ingredients. Most of the ingredients are whole foods - vegetables, fruit, grain and grain flour, beans, nuts, and sunflower seeds. Flavor comes from the taste of fruits, vegetables, and other whole food ingredients without the use of spices. Sugar and salt are added in the amount needed to make the food gratifying and flavorful. Hardly any animal products are used except for one or so recipes that use mackerel or other meat. Some of the recipes can be prepared in 30 minutes or less, some take an hour. Almost all are for sinlge servings. Most require the use of a small blender or processor. Many are the consistency of a mash or pudding and so are more easily digested by older folks or anyone with sensitive digestion. It may be that nutrients are more fully absorbed than from more intact, solid food. Blending in many cases releases flavors and so improves tastes.

A few typical recipes are given below. Under those few recipes is a PayPal emblem that you can use to purchase 100 more carrot recipes for $2, if you choose to do so.

-----------------------------
Math:
Plus 5 seconds for oven to start heating.
Plus 20 seconds to heat dishes.
To heat to boil: 20 seconds per ounce times 4.8 ounces = 96 seconds.
Dry weight is total weight minus water (4.8 - 2.7) = 2.1 ounces.
Water to leave in is (1 part water/1 part dry weight) times dry weight
   (1 X 2.1) = 2.1 ounces.
Water to remove is total water minus water left in (2.7 - 2.1) = .6 ounces.
Plus to evaporate water 46 seconds per ounce times .6 ounces = 28 seconds.
Plus to replace heat lost to air: 28/60 times 14 seconds per minute    = 7 seconds.
Plus 7/60 X 14 = 2 for a total of 9 seconds. Assume broccoli is 80 percent water.
Assumes final product will be 50 percent water.
-----------------------------
