- Carrot can be consumed either raw, cooked, or as a juice on a daily basis. Two thirds of a cup of grated carrot can roughly cover one serving of the five-a-day recommended fruit and vegetable intake. Carrot juice is advised to be consumed more rarely due to its higher caloric density and lack of fiber in portions that do not exceed one cup.
