Beta carotene is a type of carotenoid, which is a pigment that gives fruits and vegetables their vibrant colors such as the orange of carrots, sweet potatoes, and pumpkins. It is converted into Vitamin A by the body, which is important for eye health, immune function, and skin health. Beta carotene is also considered an antioxidant, which is a substance that helps protect against cell damage caused by unstable molecules known as free radicals. Foods rich in beta carotene include carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach, butternut squash, and apricots.
