Carrot Hummus

Nutritional Information

Carrots are a rich source of the beta-carotene antioxidant vital for protecting our eyes and supporting clear vision. Our body converts beta-carotene into retinol, then uses retinol to renew and repair skin membranes, including our cornea but also renews the photoreceptors in our eyes that allow us to see. The constant renewal and repair of the membranes and receptors in our eyes enables us to have good vision in the dark and as we age.

Serving Suggestion: Cut up vegetables to dip, halve an avocado – top with carrot hummus and sprinkle with salt & pepper, udos oil and essential seed mix.
