General Info:
The Carrot is a biennial plant consisting of a rosette of leafy
dark green foliage and a taproot. The taproot is generally colored
a bright orange, however varieties of red, white, purple, and
yellow do occur to a smaller extent. The Carrot is harvested by
pulling the entire plant up and collecting the roots. The Carrot
has a mellow, sweet flavor, and is one of the most popular
vegetables in the United States.
Carrots are well-known for their high content of beta carotene and
Vitamin A. With good reason too, because research shows that
powerful antioxidants like beta carotene may promote cardiovascular
health, and Vitamin A paves the way to healthy skin by promoting
the production of collagen. Vitamin A is also said to be beneficial
to ovary health. Beta-carotene also helps promote healthy vision.
After beta-carotene is converted to vitamin A in the liver, it
travels to the retina where it is transformed into rhodopsin, a
purple pigment that is necessary for night-vision. Studies have
also shown that the intake of carotenoids may be helpful in glucose
metabolism in some individuals. Carrots also contain many other
important nutrients like Thiamin, Niacin, Vitamin B6, Folate and
Manganese, and are also a very good source of Dietary Fiber,
Vitamin C, Vitamin K and Potassium.
