Carrots are a great source of a variety of minerals – the building blocks of all the essential biochemical processes that go on inside us each and every day. Some of the minerals in carrots (and their associated functions) are calcium (for bones, teeth and nerves), magnesium (heart, muscle and digestive enzymes), potassium (muscle and nerves) and phosphorus (the membranes of every single cell in our body!)

carrots are a great source of vitamin A. Plus Per "Good Eats" they improve the ability of the rods and cones in the human eye. Websites are disputing the eye improvement.
