Detailed explanation-1: -It’s only a semi-myth that eating carrots will help you see in the dark. A carrot’s main nutrient, beta-carotene (responsible for this root vegetable’s characteristic orange color), is a precursor to vitamin A and helps your eyes to adjust in dim conditions.
Detailed explanation-2: -Preformed vitamin A (retinol) comes only from animal fats that contain active vitamin A-such as liver, eggs, buttercream or cod liver oil-whereas carrots contain beta carotene, a provitamin A that is bioconverted to vitamin A.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are two different sources for vitamin A: Preformed vitamin A is found in fish, organ meats (such as liver), dairy products, and eggs. Provitamin A carotenoids are turned into vitamin A by your body. They are found in fruits, vegetables, and other plant-based products.
