Phytonutrients Online: Beta-carotene

What is Beta-carotene?

Beta-carotene is a phytonutrient that your body can convert to Vitamin A. Beta carotene is what gives many yellow and orange vegetables their color.

What are the benefits of Beta-carotene?

As mentioned, your body converts carotenes into Vitamin A. Vitamin A is an essential nutrient, and is notably important for proper eye health. Too much Vitamin C can be harmful, but beta-carotene does not pose that risk.

How do I get more Beta-carotene?

Beta-carotene is found in yellow / orange bell peppers, carrots, winter sqaush, sweet potatoes, leafy greens, and other vegetables. Vegetables should be eaten shortly after being harvested (and not be cooked or processed) to ensure that you get the phytonutrients from them.
