Raw

Dr. Steven Gundry generally advises caution with carrots, advising that they should be eaten in moderation due to their high sugar content when cooked, which makes the sugars more available. While they are not considered a highly lectin-heavy food, he suggests eating them raw when possible to avoid this breakdown of cell walls. [1, 2]  

Key points from Dr. Gundry regarding carrots: 

• Raw is Better: Cooking carrots breaks down their cell walls, releasing sugars that may not be ideal, so raw is preferred. 

• Moderate Intake: Due to their starch/sugar content, they are not an "eat all you want" vegetable in his diet plans. 

• Low Lectin: Raw carrots are generally low in lectins compared to high-lectin foods like beans or grains. [1, 2, 3, 4]  

He emphasizes focusing on leafy greens and other low-sugar, low-lectin vegetables for better gut health, rather than root vegetables. [1, 5]
