Thanks to the number of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants in carrots, it is considered a superfood!

They're rich in beta-carotene, a compound your body changes into vitamin A, which promotes growth, cell division, reproduction, and healthy immune function. Vitamin A is perhaps most famous for keeping your eyes healthy. It protects your eyes from the sun and lowers your chances of cataracts and other eye problems. Vitamin A also has antioxidant properties, so it fights inflammation, supports healthy brain function and aids in disease prevention.

We all could use support for healthy brain function, right? I have good news! Baby Carrots are on the menu at Oliver’s this Thursday!
