Nutrients in carrots

Carrots are a rich source of beta-carotene. Beta carotene is responsible for the orange color of carrots. The higher the beta carotene, the more orange the carrot becomes.

Beta-carotene is a precursor to vitamin A, which is converted to vitamin A in the body.

Vitamin A is important for strengthening the immune system, protecting the skin, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, as well as in cell growth and reproduction.

Beta-carotene is an antioxidant and reduces diseases caused by aging.

Rich sources of this vitamin are: liver, fish liver oil, milk and dairy products, butter and eggs. In addition to the above sources, vitamin A is also found in green and yellow vegetables, such as potatoes, spinach, carrots, squash and mustard.

Apart from beta carotene, carrots also have phytochemicals. This substance along with soluble fiber and other nutrients in carrots give us many benefits.

These benefits include: preventing aging, protecting the body against disease, preventing cataracts, preventing osteoporosis, and also preventing urinary tract infections.
