Detailed explanation-1: -“Boiling vegetables causes water soluble vitamins like vitamin C, B1 and folate to leach into the water, ‘’ Magee said.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carrots are a fair source of B vitamins, like niacin and B6, which help our bodies use energy from foods. B vitamins are important for growth and healthy skin, hair, nerves and muscles. Carrots are also a fair source of vitamin C, which keeps our gums, teeth and skin healthy.
