Nutritional Value of Carrots. Most of the benefits of carrots can be attributed to their beta carotene and fiber content. This root vegetable is also a good source of antioxidant agents. Furthermore, carrots are rich in vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, vitamin B8, pantothenic acid, folate, potassium, iron, copper, and manganese.
The carrot gets its characteristic, bright orange colour from Î²-carotene, and lesser amounts of Î±-carotene, Î³-carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin. Î±- and Î²-carotenes are partly metabolized into vitamin A, providing more than 100% of the Daily Value (DV) per 100 g serving of carrots (right table). Carrots are also a good source of vitamin K (13% DV) and vitamin B6 (11% DV), but otherwise have modest content of other essential nutrients (right table). Carrots are 88% water, 4.7% sugar, 2.6% protein, 1% ash, and 0.2% fat.
