What did the Dutch do to carrots?
The Netherlands has an impressive array of fresh fruits and vegetables. Carrots are available year round and can be classified as summer vegetables and winter vegetables.
The carrot came to Holland in the early 1700's from Iran. The Dutch cross-polinated various carrots until its current bright orange color was obtained: it represented the royal house of Orange. From there, it was spread throughout the rest of Europe.

Chlorine - Sulphur
Carrots are a very good source of the main cleansing minerals: Chlorine and Sulphur. Chlorine foods stimulate the functions of the liver such as elimination of toxic waste from the human system and it is also valuable in keeping the bones and joints in youthful shape thereby providing natural protection from arthritis. Sulphur foods promote a cleansing and antiseptic effect on the digestive system and bloodstream. Sulphur is also one main component of Insulin, the hormone that is essential for the conversion of carbohydrates into energy.
Calcium - Phosphorus - Magnesium
Carrots are a very good source of three major minerals: Calcium, Phosphorus and Magnesium work together to build strong bones and a healthy nervous system. Calcium is essential for healthy heart muscles and regulation of the heartbeat. Phosphorus is essential for healthy skin, hair and nerves. The vital Magnesium content of fresh Carrots is most beneficial for mental development, digestion of fats and the metabolism of such nutrients as: Calcium, Phosphorus, Sodium, Potassium, B Complex vitamins and C & E. Magnesium is essential for the production of energy from carbohydrates. Alcohol consumption destroys Magnesium.
Vitamin E
Carrots are also a good vegetable source of vitamin E, the muscle vitamin. Vitamin E foods increase the efficiency of the entire muscular system by promoting efficient use of Oxygen. Vitamin E also assists the transportation of blood by dilation of blood vessels thereby helping your blood to travel to all parts of the body/

What is the value of ten carrots of gold?
"Cheap" is a relative term. 10K gold is cheaper than, say, 14K gold, but more expensive than silver. 10K gold is known for being very durable - it's harder than 14K or 18K gold, so it doesn't ding and dent as easily - and could be better for your needs because of this. But I wouldn't generally say that ANY gold is "cheap", regardless of its purity.
