Nutritional values

Carrots are bursting with beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A. This antioxidant not only strengthens the eyes, but also keeps our mucous membranes healthy and thus plays an important role in the defense against pathogens. 

With a spiral cutter or a peeler you can cut pasta from vegetables like carrots, zucchini or pumpkin into different shapes and prepare it like your favourite pasta.
