Carrots are more than just a snack for Bugs Bunny. They’ve long been touted to improve your night vision, although this isn’t entirely true.
This versatile root vegetable has been around for some time now, originating in Europe and Southwestern Asia.
A single cup (4.5oz/128g) of raw chopped carrots may not give you night vision, but it does contain:
428% of daily required vitamin A. 21% of daily required vitamin K. 14% of daily required fiber. A good range of vitamins and minerals in small doses such as vitamin C, vitamin B6, folate, potassium, and manganese. The vitamin A you receive from carrots comes from beta-carotene, which your body then converts into vitamin A if your body requires it.
