The Root of It


When I get to the root of it, all I want is straight up carrot juice. Like orange juice, carrot juice has that bright, sunny color and a sweet, delicious taste. Carrots are also great sources of alpha- and beta-carotenes (the source of vitamin A).

At least orange carrots are rich in carotene. But not all carrots are orange. Carrots come in a rainbow of colors: white, yellow, orange, red, and even purple!

Not only are carrots used in juices. As we all know, they are also eaten raw or cooked. Turns out roasted carrots can be used as a coffee substitute (no thank you) and carrot wine has also been produced (again, no thank you).

Take a few minutes this morning to breathe and meditate. Maybe when you get down to the root, you’ll find that you, too, will want a carrot juice!
