Did you know that carrots are a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K and Potassium? Carrots are also a good source for Thiamin, Niacin, Vitamin B6, Folate and Maganese.
Mom was right. Carrots do make your eyes shiny! Beta-Carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin (all found in carrots) are some of the finest nourishment that help the optic system in tip-top condition.
EAT YOUR CARROTS DAY at Fernbank is set for April 14. If you are buying lunch that day, choose steamed carrots as your side. If you are bringing a lunchbox, either bring your own carrots (especially if you prefer them raw!) or purchase a side of steamed carrots from the lunch line.
Over 500 photos of our Fernbank kids eating their carrots are on display on the monitor mounted outside the library. Stop by and check them out!
