Vitamins & Minerals
Carrots are an extremely good source of vitamin A. One serving contains 20,380 IUs, or 408 percent of the FDA's recommended daily value. Vitamin A promotes healthy eyes, intestinal and urinary tracts, and mucous membranes. Carrots are also high in vitamins C and K, and potassium.
One serving of carrots---about one cup of carrot sticks---supplies 50 calories. Carrots contain very few calories for their bulk, so they make a great snack between meals.
