Carrots are a quick liver refueling source of glucose that’s attached to minerals and vitamins. When carrots are eaten raw, they’re higher in antiseptic phytochemical compounds that inhibit the growth of unfriendly microorganisms.

Raisins tend to be overlooked but they’re a fantastic healing food that work beautifully in this carrot cake or simply eaten as a snack. Pair them with some celery sticks or serve with banana slices in lettuce leaves for a great combination.
