CARROT

A carrot is a root vegetable from the species Daucus carota, typically recognized for its vibrant orange color, though it also comes in shades of purple, yellow, red, and white. It belongs to the Apiaceae family and is widely known for its sweet, crunchy texture.

Carrots are a rich source of beta-carotene (which the body converts into vitamin A), and also provide vitamins C, K, and B6, along with essential minerals like potassium. They are low in calories, high in dietary fiber, and support a range of health benefits, including promoting vision, immune function, and digestive health.
