About Carrot

Carrots are nutrient-packed root vegetables that belong to the Apiaceae family. Originating in Central Asia, they have become a global staple in a variety of cuisines, from soups and salads to roasts and juices. Rich in beta-carotene, carrots are an excellent source of vitamin A, vital for eye health and immune support. They also contain antioxidants, vitamins K and C, fiber, and potassium, promoting healthy digestion and heart health. With their naturally sweet flavor, they are both versatile and delicious in raw, cooked, or juiced forms. Low in calories and fat-free, they make an ideal snack for weight management. While rich in nutrients, excessive carrot consumption may lead to carotenemia, a harmless condition that turns the skin yellow-orange. A balanced intake ensures that carrots remain a valuable part of a healthy, nutritious diet.
