Cenoura Cozida, or boiled carrot, is a simple and nutritious dish celebrated in various cuisines worldwide, particularly in Brazilian and Mediterranean cooking. Made by cooking carrots until tender, this preparation softens their naturally sweet flavor while retaining a wealth of nutrients. Rich in beta-carotene, which converts to vitamin A, Cenoura Cozida supports eye health, immune function, and skin vitality. It also provides dietary fiber, fostering healthy digestion, and essential vitamins like K, C, and potassium. Low in calories and virtually fat-free, it’s an excellent addition to a balanced diet. However, boiling may slightly reduce the content of water-soluble nutrients like vitamin C, so pairing with other nutrient-dense foods can enhance the meal's value. Versatile and easy to prepare, Cenoura Cozida can be served as a side dish, lightly seasoned with herbs, or incorporated into soups and stews for added flavor and nutrition.
