Baseball's LeBron. 1  His name is Bryce Harper. You don't know him, but every big league scouting director does. 2  From punkers to peers, all Albion was agog as the Bears met the Cowboys in London's jam-packed Wembley Stadium. 3  College football awaited an epic that was supposed to decide the national championship.
Eating 1 cup of chopped carrots provides you with 10,605 micrograms of vitamin A, which is far more than the 900 micrograms required daily for men or 700 micrograms for women, according to the Linus Pauling Institute.
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.
