What's the first thing that pops into your mind when i say Vitamin A?? I bet you said carrot....or healthy eyes or.....carrot juice lover with orange hands?? yes carrot is a good source of vit A but do you know what else is? GREEN LEAFY VEGETABLES! bet you didnt expect that! but...but...green vegies are....green and carrots are orange...yes yes i know...its because the yellow pigment that are found in leafy veg are masked by chlorophils(green pigments) which makes it look green although its got lutein(yellow pigments) in it...I dont know about you...but Ive never expected green leafy veg to be a rich source of Vit A...cool huh? okay maybe i'm the only one who found it interesting... some other good sources of Vit A are mangoes, papayas, red palm oil and youve guessed it...CARROTS!
