Carrots, the orange power food: Orange you glad they’re so good for you?

Carrots win the popularity contest of root vegetables, especially with children and Bugs Bunny! This is lucky because carrots are a terrific source of carotene, which is not found in other root vegetables. Carotene becomes vitamin A when absorbed by the cells in the intestine and is essential for good health. Other super foods, like spinach, broccoli and zucchini, actually have more carotene, but carrots have the advantage of being inexpensive and more widely available.
The average American eats twelve pounds of carrots a year, but tripling this amount is even more beneficial, so offer carrots often! Carrots also contain Vitamins A, B, C, and E. They are low in calories and sodium, but high in fiber, so they fill you up with relatively few calories—great for weight loss.
