Let's talk Carrots! We’ve been told that eating carrots improves your vision, but what else do they do for us? To celebrate “Carrot Day,” let’s look at some fun facts and benefits of the orange vegetable.

Carrots are jam-packed with many vitamins and minerals that have endless health benefits. Most of us identify carrots as orange, but they can actually be a variety of colors. Carrots’ colors range from purple, white, red, and yellow and are still loaded with health benefits.
Colorful Carrots
Interestingly enough, carrots contain carotene, which is a pigment in vegetables that is what makes them so colorful. Therefore, if you eat too many carrots, your skin can change shades and take the color of yellow or even orange like the carrots.
