胡萝卜是什么 · 颜色背后是色素

A carrot is a root vegetable — what we eat is the swollen taproot the plant uses to store energy. Its famous orange comes from carotenoids, led by beta-carotene.

Many don't realize carrots weren't always orange: early ones came in purple, yellow, and white, and the deep-orange types are a later selection, with deeper orange meaning more beta-carotene. Purple adds anthocyanins, yellow leans to lutein.

The orange points straight to the real headline: how the body turns beta-carotene into vitamin A.
