Carrots

Have you heard that carrots are good for your eyes?  That's because they contain beta-carotene, which is converted to vitamin A.  And yes, vitamin A is good for your eyes!  It's also good for your skin and it's a great antioxidant.  That's why I'm featuring carrots for my food of November.
