This humble superfood salad is simple, tasty and packs a nutritious punch with a high content of vitamin K, vitamin C, antioxidants, insoluble & soluble fibre, and beta-carotene. Beta-carotene is a potent plant
chemical that not only offers anti-inflammatory benefits, but it’s also a pre-cursor to Vitamin A: a powerful fat-soluble vitamin that plays a vital role in your body’s immune system, eye health & reproductive function.
Additionally, carrots contain a unique indigestible fibre that can help clear excess oestrogen from the gut
rebalancing hormonal levels; whilst raw carrots have been shown to reduce the number of bad bacteria in
your gut and improve bowel motility.
