i have grown to love carrots coz i have been force-feeding myself since i was a kid. when i found out it helps ur eyes. i value my eyes so much coz i didnt really want to go blind. it also says that if u cook it, u loose the nutrients, so i munch it raw. just peel it and eat it

yes you are right,carrot is good for eyes.but you don't get blind if you don't eat carrot,we may get eyesight if we don't have proper vitamins to our body,carrots are vitamin C.one carrot supplies enough beta-caronate to meet more than twice our daily requirement for vitamin A.soo carrot protect us from eye sight.carrots are also good for skin complexion.i tried it.

I like carrots, so do three of my children. I try to add carrots to most things that I cook that can have carrots added to them. My favourite way to eat carrot is gratted as I like to add it to my sandwich. Salad sandwiches are my all time fave. One of my son's regually takes sliced carrots in his packed lunch box. My son who doesn't like to eat carrots does like coleslaw, I don't think he has reaslised that there is carrit in it!!

I love carrots. The noble carrot has long been known as an orange vegetable. Generations of people in the West have grown up believing that carrots are always orange. But as long ago as 2000 BC temple drawings from Egypt show a plant believed to be a purple carrot. It is also identified in the garden of the Egyptian King Merodach-Baladan in the eighth century BC. In Roman times carrots were purple or white. By the 10th century purple carrots were grown in Afghanistan, Pakistan and northern Iran. Purple, white and yellow carrots were imported to southern Europe in the 14th century. Black, red and green carrots were also grown. Orange roots, containing the pigment carotene, were not noted until the 16th century in Holland. This only came about thanks to patriotic Dutch growers who bred the vegetable to grow in the colours of the House of Orange. Experts believe Dutch breeders used a yellow mutant seed from North Africa to develop the orange variety and then stuck to it through breeding. Their colour comes from beta carotene with some alpha carotene, a pigment the body converts to Vitamin A, which is essential for healthy skin and vision in dim light. Dutch breeders recently studied the health qualities of purple carrots and believe they give us extra protection against various forms of cancer and heart disease. They contain purple pigments called anthocyanins, and act as anti-oxidants that protect the body. Carrots are the second most popular vegetable after the potato. Just a few carroty facts for you.
