Drum-dried Organic Carrots
Naturally delicious and nutritious

MOMENCE, ILLINOIS… (June, 2008) - Add the delicious flavor and nutrition of carrots to a variety of foods and beverages with Drum-dried Organic Carrots from Van Drunen Farms.

This ever-popular root vegetable is known for its bright orange color, long tapered shape, and crisp texture. Carrots have a deliciously distinct taste and are one of the classic vegetable staples in most homes, restaurants, and institutions.

This "good for you" veggie gets its characteristic orange color from its abundance of beta carotene, and is, in fact, the leading source of beta carotene in the American diet. Beta carotene then metabolizes into Vitamin A, which helps to protect one's vision. Carrots also contain antioxidants that may help protect against cardiovascular disease and certain cancers.

Carrots are indeed highly versatile. They mingle well with other vegetables and harmonize with flavors like lemon, dill, ginger, and vanilla.

Adding the delicious carrot taste and nutrition to food products is now as easy as 1-2-3. Available in flake or powder form, Drum-dried Organic Carrots can be added to juice blends and health drinks, soups, puddings, and cake, cookie, or muffin mixes. The drum-drying process retains much of the nutrition and flavor of the carrots, transforming it into a cost-effective, convenient, easy-to-use product.
