According to the determination, the carotene in carrots is 30-40 times higher than that in vegetables such as white radish. After carotene enters the human body, it can be converted into rich vitamin A under the action of a series of enzymes, and then it can be absorbed and utilized by the human body, thus making up for the deficiency of vitamin A. Vitamin A has the functions of promoting normal growth and reproduction, maintaining epithelial tissue, preventing respiratory tract infection and maintaining normal vision, and treating night blindness and dry eye.
