Carrot pancakes are one of the healthiest foods around. They are perfect for those children who refuse to eat this vegetable on its own. In addition, they can be made by adding zucchini, cottage cheese, beets, apples, etc. But this time I decided to put oatmeal and sunflower seeds. The pancakes turned out to be quite satisfying, while low-calorie, and, of course, tasty. But each housewife, at will, can put completely different products: flour or semolina, fermented baked milk or milk, etc.
This dish is perfect for those who have digestive problems and those who follow diets. In addition, for the elderly, who do not have the opportunity to gnaw raw carrots, due to the condition of their teeth, then such pancakes will be an excellent dish. And nutritionists and scientists have proven that this product is better absorbed by the body in steamed form.
To make the carrot pancakes tasty, of course, first of all it depends on the fruits themselves. The carrots should be juicy and sweet, and the shape should be smooth and even. It is best if it is a young vegetable, but delicious pancakes are also made from old fruits. If the carrot is cracked and stained, it means that its core is damaged and the fruit is not juicy. And if there are growths on it, then there are many harmful substances in the carrots.
