About Carrots, raw
The raw carrot is defined nutritionally by its carotenoid content: 835 micrograms of vitamin A equivalents per 100 grams, chiefly from beta-carotene, among the highest of common vegetables. It provides 41 calories per 100 grams and is 88.3 percent water, with 9.58 grams of carbohydrate that include 2.8 grams of fiber and 4.74 grams of sugar. Potassium reaches 320 milligrams and calcium 33 milligrams, while sodium is 69 milligrams. Protein and fat are low at 0.93 and 0.24 grams. Because the pigment is fat-soluble, its absorption improves when carrots are eaten with dietary fat, though the raw root itself contains almost none.
