Standard Serving
1 morcov mediu (61g) contains 25 calories.
Best time: Anytime - great as a raw snack or alongside a protein source
Benefits
- ✓Excellent source of beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A, essential for vision and immunity
- ✓Very low in calories (41 kcal/100g) - you can eat a generous portion without a large caloric impact
- ✓Contains soluble fiber that feeds beneficial gut bacteria and supports digestion
- ✓Provides potassium and vitamin K1, important for blood pressure and blood clotting
- ✓Crunchy and filling - a good between-meal snack that helps control appetite
Considerations
- !Cooking increases beta-carotene bioavailability but slightly reduces vitamin C content
- !Carrot juice concentrates sugar without the fiber that slows absorption - prefer the whole carrot
- !With excessive intake (rare), beta-carotene pigments can give skin a slight yellowish tint (carotenemia), which is harmless
FitAzi Tip
FitAzi recommends raw carrot sticks as a high-volume, low-calorie snack - paired with hummus or Greek yogurt, they become a filling snack with added protein. For better beta-carotene absorption, add a small source of healthy fat (olive oil, avocado).
