Carrot Powder - Organic
Carrots are nutritional heroes; they store a
goldmine of nutrients. No other vegetable or fruit
contains as much carotene as carrots, which the body
converts to vitamin A. This is a truly versatile vegetable
and an excellent source of vitamins B and C as well as
calcium pectate, an extraordinary pectin fiber that has
been found to have cholesterol lowering properties. The
carrot is an herbaceous plant containing about 87% water,
rich in mineral salts and vitamins (B,C,D,E). Raw carrots
are an excellent source of vitamin A and potassium; they
contain vitamin C, vitamin B6, thiamine, folic acid, and
magnesium. The high level of beta-carotene is very
important and gives carrots their distinctive orange
color.
The known phytonutrients in carrots are lutein, lycopene,
alpha, beta and gamma carotenes, zeaxanthin and xanthophyll.
These phytonutrients are nature's marvelous provision for
healing of various diseases. Carrots are credited with many
medicinal properties; they are said to cleanse the intestines
and to be diuretic, remineralizing, antidiarrheal, an overall
tonic and antianemic. Carrots are rich in alkaline elements
which purify and revitalize the blood. They nourish the entire
system and help in the maintenance of acid-alkaline balance in
the body. The carrot also has a reputation as a vegetable that
helps to maintain good eyesight. Its highly energizing
nutrients are also particularly beneficial for the liver.

the wonderful nutrition this root has to offer in a
