CARROT

The essential characteristic of the carrot is its richness in provitamin A (called carotene). With 100 g of carrots, one covers more than half of the daily requirement of vitamin A (carotene turns into vitamin A in the body). Usually, the most colourful carrots are also the richest ones in carotene. The carotene content remains stable during time as it does not change much from the time of harvesting, and cooking destroys just a small portion (10-15% maximum).
