Carrots may seem like just another root vegetable, but they have been cultivated for more than just their crunch and have a deep-rooted history as an aphrodisiac, a cure for snakebites, and a measure to prevent night blindness.
Carrots are nutrient dense and an excellent source of beta-carotene (vitamin A) which boosts your immune system, supports your vision, and protects your body from harmful free radicals. They are also an excellent source of vitamin K which helps prevent blood clotting and is important for bone health.
