You might recognize the face of the featured author on cooking site Cookstr.com today (Thursday, Sept. 2): it’s our co-founder, Myra Goodman. She’s sharing recipes from her cookbooks, including the just-released The Earthbound Cook: 250 Recipes for Delicious Food and a Healthy Planet.

Cookstr is bountiful culinary resource — check it out if you haven’t seen it before. Have you seen our new cookbook, or tried any of its recipes? Got any questions? We’d love to get your feedback!

Stay tuned for more cookbook news in coming issues (and on our Facebook and Twitter feeds, too) — we’re planning a fun cookbook event starting in late September, with lots of chances to win a free copy of The Earthbound Cook. In the meantime, you can find it on Amazon and wherever books are sold — autographed copies are available from our online store, too.

Carrots are at the root (no pun intended) of many cuisines, essential for the foundation of sweetness and texture they contribute to both sweet and savory dishes. Delicious raw or cooked, carrots have the highest sugar content of any vegetable other than beets.

Carrots are exceptionally good for you; in fact, they’re the leading source of antioxidant powerhouse vitamin A in the American diet. Low in calories and almost totally devoid of fat, they’re an excellent source of dietary fiber — so in addition to being a useful recipe ingredient, carrots make a satisfying (and portable) snack.

Check out our Seasonal Ingredient Spotlight to learn more about this versatile veggie, and you’ll find some great new recipes, too, including Carrot and Dill Salad, Carrot Snack Bars, Pan-Roasted Halibut with Carrot Ginger Beurre Blanc, Roasted Carrots with Pomegranate Vinaigrette, and more. Enjoy!

Why Choose Earthbound Farm Organic Carrots?
We believe that almost all fruits and vegetables have more flavor when grown organically because of the enhanced health and vitality of organic soil — and this is especially true of carrots. Plus, carrots are #11 on the Environmental Working Group’s list of produce that tend to carry the most pesticide residues when grown conventionally. Choosing organic carrots helps reduce your dietary exposure to these chemicals, and it supports farming methods that are healthier for the environment, too!
