Carrots - 500g

In the period from 1600-1800, Carrots were widely enjoyed in Carrot puddings. These usually were made of grated Carrots, grated white bread, eggs, sugar, and a variety of spices including nutmeg – not too dissimilar from a modern Carrot cake! Carrots were also used in soups, stews, and stocks. It was also believed that they could provide strength to those who had been suffering from long-term illnesses.
