Carrot curls are thin strips or spirals of carrot obtained by using a special grater or a spiralizer. This ingredient adds a crunchy, fresh, and sweet touch to various recipes, from salads and side dishes to hot meals or decorations. Their light texture and vibrant orange color make them especially attractive for enhancing food presentation.
The carrot is an edible root originally from Central Asia and has been cultivated for thousands of years. It is highly valued in gastronomy for its versatility and natural flavor, in addition to being accessible in most markets around the world.
Regarding their properties, carrot curls retain the nutritional benefits of fresh carrots, such as their high content of beta-carotene (provitamin A), antioxidants, dietary fiber, and vitamins C and K. These components help improve vision, strengthen the immune system, and promote digestion.
Depending on the region of Latin America, carrot curls may also be known as carrot strips, carrot spirals, or shredded carrot strips. In any case, their use in cooking is common to add color, texture, and flavor in a natural and healthy way.
