What do carrots contain?

Answer 1

Carotene which is an orange isomer of an unsaturated hydrocarbon found in many plants including carrots;and is converted into vitamin A in the liver
Nutritionally, the carrot is an extremely rich source of beta-carotene. The name carotene, which is a form of pro-vitamin, has been derived from carrot. The carotene is converted into vitamin A by the liver and it is also stored in our body.
