Carrot
Very nutritious, Carrots provide the highest content of vitamin A of all the vegetables. Brightly orange colored Carrots contain carotenoids and flavonoids, two important phytochemicals, a natural bioactive compound found in plant foods. These elements work with nutrients and dietary fiber to protect against disease. Beta-carotene, which is found in carrots, protects the body by decreasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, blindness and certain types of cancer.
