grated vegetables

Grated vegetables are vegetables that have been shredded into small, thin pieces using a grater or a similar tool. This process increases their surface area, making them cook faster, easier to incorporate into recipes, or suitable for raw dishes like salads. Commonly grated vegetables include carrots, zucchini, and cheese. Grating can also help release flavors more quickly and create a finer texture in dishes such as fritters, soups, or dressings. It’s a simple culinary technique that enhances both texture and flavor, allowing for more versatile use of vegetables in cooking and garnishing.
