Carrot, (Gajar) 250g

Carrots are a popular root vegetable known for their sweet taste and vibrant color. They are narrow and cone-shaped, featuring thick, fleshy roots that grow underground and feathery green leaves that sprout above the surface. While the leaves have a fresh yet slightly bitter flavor, the roots are crunchy and possess a sweet, minty aroma. Carrots are an excellent source of vitamin A, offering the highest content among all vegetables. Their bright orange hue is attributed to pigments like carotenoids and flavonoids, which act as powerful antioxidants. These compounds help protect against cancer and promote overall health. Additionally, carrots contribute to oral health, reduce the risk of stroke, and support heart health.
