Carotenoids are responsible for the orange/yellow pigment found in fruits and vegetables. Beta-carotene is found in sweet potatoes, pumpkins, and carrots which is then converted by the body to Vitamin A. Vitamin A is responsible for healthy eyes, while a carotenoid rich diet reduces risk of cancer, heart disease, and can improve immune system function. Citrus foods that fall under this category are rich in Vitamin C and folate.
