Are carrots antifungal?

Carrot root tissues have been shown to contain a number of metabolites which inhibit the development of fungi.

What happens to your body when you drink carrot juice daily?

Carrot juice is incredibly nutritious, providing potassium, several carotenoids, and vitamins A, C, and K. Drinking this veggie juice may help improve eye health, boost your immune system, and strengthen your skin.

Do bagged carrots need to be refrigerated?

Carrots can last up to two to three months in the refrigerator if stored properly. If you grow your own carrots or buy them fresh from the farmers market, immediately place them in a bag and store them in your refrigerator.

carrots are also anti-bacterial and anti-viral in the alimentary canal. if prepared properly, they can quickly treat dysentery due to viral infection or food poisoning. when they're boiled for an hour, pureed, then re-heated with salt, they release sugars called oligosaccharides that look/act just like the cells lining our entire digestive tract. viruses or bacteria lock onto them and are then unable to reproduce. it's an amazing remedy that takes roughly 1 and half hours to prepare and works very quickly.

@meggie it's true. they've made self-tanning pills from carotene (the very thing that makes carrots orange) you'd have to eat a lot, tho. like so many

Wild carrot seed essential oil is also antifungal and also has a whole host of other benefits when blended with a carrier oil and used topically. It's very good in particular for damaged and mature skin and water retention.

Is this only in the skin or is it throughout the root?
NEVER stick your root someplace where it can get fungus on it.
