CAROTEi^E IN CARROTS
Carotene,'the yellow substance in food
which is converted into vitamin A in the
body, took its name from the carrot, one
of the vegetables richest in this valuable
material. Not all carrots contain'the
same quantity of carotene, however. Thoso
that arc too young—the tender baby carrot
and thoso too old have considerably less
than those in their prime.
Tests at the Rhode Island Experiment
Station of ton varieties of carrots show
that these vegetables increased in caro
tene as they matured. They reached a peak
of about 6 milligrams of carotene per 100
grams of’carrot in abdut 90 days aftor
planting^ After that, they gradually lost
carotene,
A striking increase in carotene with
growth is reported by the Arizona Station

Victory gardeners who rant the full quota
of vitamin A from their carrots will re
sist the temptation to pull them when very
snail—except to thin crowded rows, and
also rail take care not to leave carrots
in the ground after they have reached full
size. Those buying carrots iii stores will
chooso the full-grown carrots, rather than
the immature baby carrots,'usually sold in
bunches with the loavos on. Tho latter
are dfton more delicate in flavor and tex
ture, but are less rich in carotene.
