Hey guys!
I am Flo.
If you are new to my channel welcome!
If you are already a Flo family member,
please take your usual spot because today
I will be sharing how to make the best DIY
carrot oil.
Yes, the shelf life of this carrot oil is
like forever.
It lasts as long as the expiry date of your
carrier oil will allow.
I don't want to bore you with all the numerous
health benefits of carrot oil.
Please google that because they are too many
to mention.
But I must say that carrot oil is one of my
top secrets to looking young.
You guys always compliment me on my looks,
that I look far too young to be approaching
50.
Thank you to much.
Yes.
I eat beta carotene.
Carrot oil contains beta carotene
and beta carotene has anti-ageing properties
and has anti-oxidant activity which means
that it
slows down the ageing of the cells in your
body.
If you want to be putting carrot oil into
your body
you want to be making it yourself so that
you are sure of what is in there.
If you want to see how to make the best carrot
oil
the one that will never go mouldy on you,
the one that will never have a foul smell,
Let's go!
But make sure you watch till the end to see
how I integrate carrot oil into what I eat.
I'll be using 3 carrots.
You can use any quantity you want but just
make sure that
you have enough carrier oil for the quantity
of carrots
you are using as you will see later.
And talking about carrier oil, you need an
oil
that the beta carotene in carrots will seep
into.
Any oil you use for that purpose is known
as a carrier oil.
For the carrier oil, I either use virgin olive
oil or virgin coconut oil.
When I want to use the carrot oil for my hair,
I use olive oil
because my hair loves olive oil more than
coconut oil.
If your hair prefers coconut oil, use virgin
coconut oil as your carrier oil
You can also use a mixture of olive oil and
coconut oil
for those who want to get the best of both
worlds.
Click the link that pops up on the screen
right now
for how to make the purest virgin coconut
oil.
If I'll use the carrot oil to cook I prefer
using olive oil because
that way I can sneak it into more recipes.
Virgin olive oil has a strong taste but coconut
oil
has an even more distinctive taste
so it is harder for the taste of coconut oil
to blend with every meal.
Unless I am preparing a coconut recipe, olive
oil is better for me.
But do whatever suits your tastebuds, ok?
Cut off the end of the carrots.
Rinse very well and pat dry with a paper towel.
If your carrots are so muddy that washing
alone does not do the job,
you can scrape it to remove the dirt.
Grate it like this!
Then spread it out in a flat basket ...
...and keep it in the sun till it becomes
bone dry.
At most you need 1 session in very hot sun.
Nigerian hamarttan is the perfect weather
for doing this.
If at the moment you don't have sunshine where
you live,
set a fan on them like this.
I DON'T RECOMMEND USING AN OVEN to dry the
carrots.
When they are bone dry...
... can you hear the crunchy sound?
Yes, it must be bone dry.
Put it in a glass jar.
And pour enough carrier oil to cover them.
Close tight and put away in a dark place.
I usually put it in my oven but the oven must
be turned off.
Every few days, bring it out and give it a
good shake.
You can do this every day if you remember.
I never remember.
Leave it to soak for a minimum of 2 weeks
but you can go up to 3 weeks
even 1 month and by then all the goodness
of the carrot
would have seeped out into the surrounding
oil.
Then sieve it, store in a glass container
and use when you want.
Like I said earlier, this carrot oil has a
very long shelf life,
it never goes mouldy and it will never smell
funny.
That's my guarantee.

As you can see, I keep it in my cupboard with
my Purest virgin coconut oil.
Make sure you check that one out as well.
A lot of people have not seen that video yet,
the link will be in the description of this  video
Now to how I sneak carrot oil into my meals
and drinks.
I add it to my hot chocolate, we call it tea
in Nigeria hehehe.
You'll need hot water, cocoa powder, peak
milk and carrot oil.
You can add it to tea, to coffee for that
extra energy
that helps you start your day on a good note.
I add carrot oil to my avocado custard.
You need avocado, whole milk, peak milk and
carrot oil.
I add it when cooking boiled white rice.
Add carrot oil to your semolina fufu.
I USE carrot oil AS SALAD DRESSING
I use it for stirfries and many more.
I LOVE CARROT OIL It's so good to me.
Eat it, drink it rub it and come back here
and testify.
