Carrots are the leading dietary source of beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A — essential for vision, immune function, and skin health. They contain falcarinol, a compound investigated for its anti-inflammatory effects. Cooking with a little fat improves absorption of fat-soluble carotenoids.
