Health benefits of carrot
Carrots are mostly available in orange colour but there are other variants available too, such as white, yellow, purple and red.
The bright orange colour of the carrots is because of the presence of beta-carotene, anantioxidant that gets converted into vitamin A when we consume it. Carrots are loaded with ample vital nutrients and health benefits.
