Carrots contain a very large amount of vitamin Aand they also contain falcarinol, which may prevent cancer. The carrot gets its characteristic orange colour from B- carotene, which on consumption by humans is metabolised into vitamin A. Massive overconsumption of carrots can cause hypercarotenemia, a condition in which the skin turns orange and liver damage can be caused by overdosing on vitamin A. Carrots are also rich in dietary fibre, antioxidants, and minerals. A lack of Vitamin A can cause poor vision, including night vision.
