8. Carrots
Carrots are slightly sweet, crunchy, and highly nutritious. Even though orange varieties are most popular, carrots come in an array of colors, ranging from white to purple.
Carrots are rich in compounds called carotenoids, including lutein and beta carotene, which are important for healthy vision, immune function, and more. Some carotenoids, including beta carotene, are converted into the active form of vitamin A in the body (16Trusted Source).
A 1-cup serving (122 grams) of sliced carrots has only 50 calories and over 100% of the DV for vitamin A .
