herbs and spices to your favorite dishes.

What is Beta
Carotene?
Beta Carotene is a common phytochemical within
a group of over 600 called carotenoids. It is found in bright
orange-colored fruits and vegetables such as carrots, pumpkins,
peaches, yukon gold potatoes and sweet potatoes. In the body,
beta-carotene is converted to vitamin A, which has many vital
functions including the growth and repair of body tissues, formation
of bones and teeth, resistance of the body to infection, and
development of healthy eye tissues. Whereas vitamin A supplements
can be toxic, excess beta-carotene is safely stored away and
converted to vitamin A only when the body needs it.
