Hello, I'm Ayako Sekiguchi from Wellness Kitchen.This time, I
received a lot of carrots from a farmer to prevent food loss.Carrots
are a representative vegetable that can help improve your immune system.I would like to introduce you to some convenient ways to preserve them and how to use them. There are lots of ways to
enjoy the rich potage and delicious juices with natural sweetness.We
will answer some of the most frequently asked questions about carrots at the end, so please read till the end.Everyone has
heard of mucosal immunity.
Have you ever heard of this? Among the immune systems, the
immune system works in the mucous membranes of the respiratory system and long-term, and has recently become known as the immune system that
prevents viruses from entering the body and multiplying.In order to maintain this mucosal immunity,
vitamin A is essential.
Therefore, carrots are highly recommended as a source of vitamin A.
Carrots have the highest
content of beta-carotene, which has a strong antioxidant effect, among other green vegetables.Therefore, they
remove active oxygen. Beta-carotene is effective in suppressing and suppressing diseases and helps prevent diseases that occur throughout life.Beta-
carotene is also
converted to vitamin A when necessary, so it keeps the skin and
mucous membrane tissues normal and strengthens mucosal immunity.It is useful for
creating beautiful skin and infectious diseases. Carrots
are a wonderful vegetable that can be expected to have both preventative effects.We
have plenty of carrots, so let's make an all-purpose carrot paste right away.Prepare as many carrots as you want.This time, we'll be
using the skins, so we'll
wash them carefully. First of all, let's start with the carrots.This time, since it
's a paste, I'll boil the carrots until they're firm and then make a
paste.If I cut them into smaller pieces, they
'll cook faster, so I'm going to cut them into intestines.Okay, I
'll just remove the bad parts.And then. If there are any bad parts that you are a little concerned about, just
remove them.The
shorter the overall heating time, the
more vitamin C there will be, so
cut it into smaller pieces.It looks like this.It's about the
size of something you can put in stingy soup.It's
a little. If you have a large amount of carrots and find it difficult to cut them, you
can use a food processor or something like that.
Yes, I've chopped a lot of carrots.
Now we're going to boil the carrots.
First of all, I'm going to boil the carrots all over with olive oil. Stir-
fry until the carrots are coated. Yes, it's just
the right amount. The beta-carotene in the carrots is
better absorbed when cooked with oil,
so make sure to use plenty of oil as well.
Stir as if the carrots are coated with oil.
[Music]
Add a little water to the carrots.
[Music]
Yes, it looks like this. Then, cover it with a lid and
heat it over low heat until it becomes soft.
[Music]
Now, let's take a look. The
cooking time will vary depending on the size of the carrots, so keep an
eye on them. They'll be quite soft. They'll be
a little hot, but you can touch them with your fingers. I think it's
just right if it just collapses when you press it.Try
eating one slice.If it's
not crunchy, it's
fine.Now, there's a little bit of water in it, so
turn up the heat and let it evaporate, then
heat it up a little more. I want to condense it a little and
make it into a paste.I simmered it for an additional
5 minutes.Okay, that's it.The
carrots are now completely soft,
so I turn off the heat.Yes, there's no flavor or
anything. I'm just turning the ingredients into a paste without adding anything, so all I
used was carrots and
olive oil.Okay, so now I'm
going to put it in a blender or food processor and make it into a paste.I'm
going to use a blender to mash it

Yes, it
has become a smooth paste. It's a carrot paste with plenty of beta carotene, which boosts immunity,
dissolved in it. If you
put it in a clean storage container and store it in the refrigerator, you
can steam it for about a week. If so, please
store it in a freezer container or a food freezer bag.If you do
so, it can be stored for about 2 months.This
is a carrot paste,
but it can be easily used in a variety of ways.Potage
Juice Dressing Takikomi Steamed
Rice You can add it to breads and cakes, or
add it to some soup or hiyashi chuka sauce for an
easy nutritional boost.This time, we
will introduce three recipes recommended for summer.For a simple
potage,
add an appropriate amount of carrot paste. It's okay if you like it.
Then, dilute it with milk or soy milk
depending on your preference. Add consommé or other ingredients as you like to
adjust the taste. Yes,
that's it. Easy
carrot potage for one person. Yes, continue.
Carrot juice is recommended in the summer.You
can dilute this carrot paste with water, but if you
add something like this to a fluorescent water solution and mix it together, it will help prevent heat stroke. It's also
very effective.
[Music] The
carrot juice is ready.
And finally, we'll make a dressing using carrot paste.
Carrot
paste alone has a sweet taste
and is very beautiful. Here, we'll also add olive
oil. It's amazing. It's a
simple recipe, but it's delicious. It
makes a delicious dressing. Yes, it's
olive oil and vinegar. You can add just the right amount to your liking.
Salt,
pepper, and chopped
herbs instead of pepper.
I think it's okay if you add it. All you
have to do is mix it all up and it's done. It's
really great when you mix it with the vegetables. It's versatile. You can
easily enjoy all kinds of arrangements from carrot paste. Please
try it.
Versatile. Carrot Paste First of all, I would like to
tell you a simple taste of this. Please excuse me for leaving it alone.
Carrots are really delicious. They have a natural,
gentle sweetness. They are different from eating them raw, but when you
make them into a paste, they are fluffy and
creamy. This is the best. It's really
delicious on its own. Now, I
'll show you some of the various things I've made with the arranged recipes. Carrot
potage. The
carrot paste is delicious,
so I just added milk and consomme to it,
and it's really delicious. If it's
this season,
I think it's really best if you enjoy it calmly.Next
is carrot juice.It's quite refreshing and
contains a lot of juice, but the concentration is diluted with fluorescent rehydration solution. Raw
carrot juice
is also delicious, but there is some residual residue left behind, so I recommend using carrots
made on top of this paste as it will give you a
better nutrition.It
doesn't have any grittiness and is very easy to drink.
Okay, and this is what I used as a dressing.This is what I
put on vegetables this time.I
think it would also be great as a sauce for grilled meat, or as a sauce for sashimi or carpaccio, and drizzled with cat carrot sauce.This
is the best restaurant. The
taste of that carrot dressing you eat in Japan is really
like that.It's just a
combination of all-purpose carrot paste, olive oil, and salt and pepper,
but it's really delicious.Just
add a little to a variety of dishes, and the
antioxidants in carrots will boost your immune system. You
can easily get the better carotene, so please give it a try.I
will answer two frequently asked questions about vitamin C in carrots.1.Raw carrot
juice contains
vitamin C due to the ascorbinase contained in carrots.
Your question is, does C get destroyed? The correct answer is that it does
n't, so it's okay.Ascorbinase is
called ascorbate oxidase, and it
is an enzyme that converts reduced vitamin C into participatory vitamin C. It has been
discovered that most of the vitamin C in the body reverts to its reduced form.
There is a method called grated, which is made by mixing well-grated carrots and daikon radish, but it is
said to destroy the vitamin C in the radish.60
After several minutes have passed, the participatory vitamin C
increases as a percentage to about 81, but
there is experimental data that shows that in terms of the amount of vitamin C, 91 remains.Secondly, won't
vitamin C be destroyed when heated? The
same goes for cooking, and the
common belief that vitamin C is sensitive to heat is incorrect.If
you boil it for 90 minutes, it's reduced to about half,
but if you cook it for about 230 minutes,
there's no need to worry.
Vitamin C, which is water-soluble, dissolves into water when it is boiled,
so the longer it is boiled, the more
vitamin C will flow out.Cooking without using water
or cooking in which the juice can be removed
is effective for retaining vitamin C. This time, we introduced a
versatile
carrot paste and various recipes for preserving carrots that effectively provide nutrients.By
strengthening the mucous membranes, you
can increase your immunity, so be
sure to be aware of this before an infectious disease spreads. Let's go!
Carrots are effective in preventing summer UV damage and cancer caused by active oxygen and situational effects.
Please try incorporating them into your daily diet. Thank you for
watching until the end.
