Cooked Carrots are more nutritious than raw. Cooking, especially prolonged boiling, does reduce the vitamin content of vegetables. But carotenoids, such as the beta carotene in carrots, are more readily available when vegetables are cooked. Cooking help release the carotenoids, which are bound to the cell wall “matrix” of the vegetables. Condensed milk is very rich in calories and that is the reason that condensed milk is used in sweetened desserts.
