Raw Carrots vs Cooked Carrot Nutritional Value

Raw carrots contain vitamin C; while the cooked ones have less; but ounce for ounce, cooking actually releases carotenes, believed to be the active agents in shielding tissue against carcinogenic attacks. You get two to five times more carotene from cooked carrots than from raw ones. But dont overdo it; carrots cooked too mushy lose much of their precious betacarotene.
