Carrot

Carrots have been cultivated for thousands of years – and today, they’re an essential part of a huge range of global cuisines.

Supremely versatile, their vibrant orange colour and natural sweetness makes them ideal for teaming with a wide range of other vegetables, especially peas, potatoes, green beans and broccoli. Freeze-dried carrots work really well with a range of herbs and spices, including cumin, coriander, parsley and dill, and they can be used in everything from packet sauces and stocks to salads, soups and smoothies.

An excellent source of vitamin A and dietary fibre, they can also be used to bring an attractive, natural orange colour to products.
