The fibre in carrots can help keep blood sugar levels under control. And they're loaded with vitamin A and beta-carotene, which have been shown to lower your risk of diabetes.

Did you know that carrots also contain calcium and vitamin K which can help to strengthen your bones.

Team that up with some wonderful healthy fats from tahini and walnuts and you have yourself a nourishing side dish to any meal!
