Salty Fact - Carrots

Perhaps this Easter you ate like a rabbit 🐰 nibbling up carrots 🥕 for their mega-dose of vitamin A. Carrots are crunchy, tasty, and highly nutritious and are a particularly good source of beta carotene, fiber, vitamin K1, potassium, and antioxidants.

They’re a weight-loss-friendly food and have been linked to lower cholesterol levels and improved eye health. But eating the “right carrot” could save you a bunch of sodium!Did you know the prepacked baby carrots can contain up to 66mg of sodium for about 5 or 6 carrots?

While that doesn’t seem like a lot, it can quickly add up when you are watching your sodium intake. These mini-carrots are also slightly less nutritious than regular table carrots, containing about 20% less vitamin A and half the vitamin C of regular carrots with all that added salt to make sure they look nice on the grocery shelves.
