The Health Benefits of Carrots


When you eat raw carrots, roughly one percent of the beta-carotene is absorbed by the body.

Cooking breaks down the fibrous walls of carrots and increases the absorption to around 20 percent.

When you consume Just Carrots, a juice concentrate, as much as 90 percent of the beta-carotene is absorbed by your body.
