hi I'm Miranda Valentine editor of the lifestyle blog everything sounds better in French and today I'm going to show you how to grate or shred a carrot so I have my carrot here which has already been washed and peeled and I am going to grate or shred it you will often find any recipes if you're doing some sort of like coleslaw with your carrot like some sort of carrot slaw needs to be shredded or maybe you'll just want it grated for like a salad or something like that it's a really nice way to kind of mix up your carrot consumption so but you're going to use the same thing I have a grater here and I'm using you know the the wider created part this is obviously we want tiny little itty-bitty shreds but what I find because of the high water content of the carrot if we do it on here it gets just really really pulpy if you'll see so this is just like really pulpy there's not a ton I can do with this so I prefer to use this side so if you want to get longer shreds like maybe if you were doing some sort of you know like a slaw and you need like shredded carrot you would just angle it a little bit more so you have more space obviously to create the shred you see so you get these longer bits however if you just want an easy grated care for salad or whatever you don't need like shredded kind of chunks you can just do it like on a right angle I'm going to start on the side so you can see and just shred this way and you'll get kind of shorter little shorter little greeted chunks and there you have it really really easy that is how you grate or shred a carrot thanks for watching make sure to subscribe and if there's something that you want to learn how to make send me an email that request at Mahalo calm and don't forget to check out our other great videos
