Taking after PURPOSE IN LIFE my students are very keen and interested studying. They want to study PSYCHOLOGY I am flattered and so HAPPY. And posted as unlike simple articles a very Advanced Topic. And now a simple post about the Values of Beet Root for a change and then they want an Article about Carrots 😀

The carrot is a root vegetable, typically orange in colour, though heirloom variants including purple, black, red, white, and yellow cultivars exist, all of which are domesticated forms of the wild carrot, native to Europe and Southwestern Asia. The plant probably originated in Iran and was originally cultivated for its leaves and seeds. The carrot is a biennial plant . World production of carrots (combined with turnips) for 2022 was 42 million tonnes, led by China producing 44% of the total. The characteristic orange colour is from beta-carotene, making carrots a rich source of vitamin A.

Nutrition and Health Benefits of Carrots: Carrots contain many nutrients, including beta-carotene and antioxidants, that may support your overall health as part of a nutrient-rich diet.

The carrot is a root vegetable often claimed to be the perfect health food. It is crunchy, tasty, and highly nutritious. Carrots are a particularly good source of beta-carotene, fiber, vitamin K1, potassium, and antioxidants. Plus, they’re low in calories. They also have several health benefits. They have been linked to lower cholesterol levels and improved eye health. Carrots are found in many colors, including yellow, white, orange, red, and purple. Orange carrots get their bright color from beta carotene, an antioxidant that your body converts into vitamin A.

Nutrition facts

Carrots contain very little fat and protein. The nutrition facts for two small-to-medium raw carrots, or 100 grams Trusted Source (g), are:

• Calories: 41
• Water: 89%
• Protein: 0.8 g
• Carbs: 9.0 g
• Fiber: 2.7 g
• Fat: 0.1 g

Fiber

Pectin is the main form of soluble fiber in carrots.

Soluble fibers can lower blood sugar levels by slowing down your digestion of sugar and starch. They can also feed the friendly bacteria in your gut, which may lead to improved health and decreased risk of disease. What’s more, certain soluble fibers can impair the absorption of cholesterol from your digestive tract, lowering cholesterol. The main insoluble fibers in carrots are cellulose, Insoluble fibers help digestion.

Other plant compounds

Carrots offer many plant compounds, including carotenoids.

These are substances with powerful antioxidant activity that have been linked to improved immune function and reduced risk of many illnesses, including heart disease, various degenerative ailments, and certain types of cancer.

Beta carotene, the main carotene in carrots, can be converted into vitamin A in your body. However, this conversion process may vary by individual. Eating fat with carrots can help you absorb more of the beta carotene.

The main plant compounds in carrots are:

• Beta carotene: Orange carrots are very high in beta carotene. The absorption is better if the carrots are cooked.
• Alpha-carotene: This is an antioxidant that, like beta-carotene, is partly converted into vitamin A in your body.
• Lutein: One of the most common antioxidants in carrots, lutein is predominantly found in yellow and orange carrots and is important for eye health.
• Lycopene: This is a bright red antioxidant found in many red fruits and vegetables, including red and purple carrots. Lycopene may decrease your risk of cancer and heart disease. Cooking carrots helps release lycopene and improves absorption.
• Polyacetylenes: Recent research has identified bioactive compounds in carrots that may help protect against leukemia and other cancers.
• Anthocyanins: These are powerful antioxidants found in dark-colored carrots.

Vitamins and minerals

Carrots are a good source of several vitamins and minerals, especially biotin, potassium, and vitamins A (from beta carotene), K1 (phylloquinone), and B6.

• Vitamin A: Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which your body converts into vitamin A. This nutrient promotes good vision and is important for growth, development, and immune function.
• Biotin: A B vitamin formerly known as vitamin H, biotin plays an important role in fat and protein metabolism.
• Vitamin K1: Also known as phylloquinone, vitamin K1 is important for blood coagulation and can promote bone health.
• Potassium: An essential mineral, potassium is important for blood pressure management.
• Vitamin B6: A group of related vitamins, B6 is involved in the conversion of food into energy.

Baby carrots

Baby carrots are an increasingly popular snack food. Two kinds of carrots are called baby carrots whole carrots harvested while still small

• baby-cut carrots, which are pieces from larger carrots that have been machine-cut into the preferred size, then peeled, polished, and sometimes washed in small amounts of chlorine before packing

There’s very little difference in nutrients between regular and baby carrots, and they should have the same health effects.
