Carrots are a root vegetable that are known for their bright orange color and sweet flavor. They are a member of the Apiaceae family, which also includes celery, parsley, and fennel. Carrots are a good source of several important nutrients, including vitamin A, vitamin K, potassium, and fiber.
Although carrots are known to be higher in sugar compared to other vegetables, they do have anti-diabetic properties, which was reported in a review published in Food and Nutrition Sciences. The review cites that people who had lower levels of carotenoids—the pigments that give carrots its orange color—had higher blood sugar levels and higher fasting levels of insulin. This suggests that carotenoids might help in the management of diabetes.
