Fun fact

Do carrots help you see in the dark?

Carrots are good sources of lutein and beta carotene. These are antioxidants that benefit eye health and protect against age-related degenerative eye diseases. The body converts beta carotene into vitamin A, a nutrient which helps you see in the dark.
