Some people are even allergic to medications that are used to treat allergies, such as corticosteroids. Still, seldom are these incidents one-of-a-kind phenomena. Even the most unexpected allergic response is likely to be duplicated in another person, somewhere.
Carrots are full of nutrients for eye health. Carrots are rich in vitamins, minerals and fiber but only contribute a small amount of calories to your diet. They are virtually guilt-free, offering a minimal 50 calories per 1 cup of raw chopped carrots.
The carrot gets its characteristic, bright orange colour from Î²-carotene, and lesser amounts of Î±-carotene, Î³-carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin. Î±- and Î²-carotenes are partly metabolized into vitamin A, providing more than 100% of the Daily Value (DV) per 100 g serving of carrots (right table). Carrots are also a good source of vitamin K (13% DV) and vitamin B6 (11% DV), but otherwise have modest content of other essential nutrients (right table). Carrots are 88% water, 4.7% sugar, 2.6% protein, 1% ash, and 0.2% fat.
