Carrot Nutrition Facts
The beta-carotene champion for eye health and immunity.
About Carrot
Carrots are the leading source of beta-carotene in the American diet — your body converts it to vitamin A, which is essential for vision, immune function, and skin health. One medium carrot provides 57% of your daily vitamin A. Cooking carrots actually increases beta-carotene bioavailability by breaking down cell walls.
