ingredient of the month - carrots

Carrots are a vibrant and nutritious ingredient that adds a splash of color and natural sweetness to autumn meals here in Manitoba, Canada.

Their earthy-sweet flavor shines in both raw and cooked dishes, making them perfect for everything from crisp salads and hearty soups to roasted side dishes and even dessert.
