Description
Carrots, the edible, orange root of the genus Daucus. This vegetable is one of nature's richest sources of provitamin A carotenoids and is also moderately high in potassium.
Carrot juice is one of nature's most concentrated sources of nutrients; in addition to being high in provitamin A carotenoids and potassium, it is also high in vitamin C.
Available throughout the year.
Note: Good quality carrots will be firm, fresh, smooth, well-shaped and well-colored. Avoid carrots wilting at the top or have decayed areas.Caloric Content
