Mothers used to say, “Eat your carrots; they’ll make your eyes bright.” Today, were finding out that there are scientific reasons behind much of the folk wisdom of the past. The beta-carotene in carrots is being studied for its cancer-preventing properties. Fortunately, carrots are easy to like. In this recipe the natural sweetness of carrots is intensified with honey. A squeeze of lemon at the end offsets it.
