FOOD AS MEDICINE: The health benefits of carrots are numerous, but they are best known for their antioxidant qualities. Beta-carotene is a compound found in orange-yellow fleshed produce that has a wide-range of disease-fighting qualities. Aside from the carotenoids, carrots have a compound called polyacetylenes, which have proven anti-cancer qualities. Beyond their plant-based antioxidants, carrots are also a great source of vitamins A, K and C. A win-win all the way!
