About Half a carrot
Half a carrot is a nutrient-packed vegetable, commonly associated with dishes from global cuisines, though it originates from Central Asia. Known for its vibrant orange hue, this portion provides an excellent source of vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene, which supports healthy vision, immune function, and skin health. Carrots also contain fiber, aiding digestion, alongside small amounts of vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants that help protect cells from damage. With approximately 12 calories, half a carrot is low in calories but high in nutrition, making it ideal for healthy snacking or meal enhancement. While their natural sugars make carrots taste sweet, they remain a smart choice for most diets due to their low glycemic index. Popular in soups, salads, stir-fries, and even desserts, half a carrot is a versatile and health-promoting ingredient with few drawbacks when consumed in moderation.
