Local Carrots are this week’s Healthy Snack
Naturally sweet and high in fiber, carrots are a great source of vitamin A and beta-carotene. Vitamin A is vital for vision as it forms part of a protein that absorbs light in the eye. It also supports cell growth and is essential in heart, lung, and kidney function.
Carrots are great for dental health as they kill harmful germs in the mouth and prevent tooth decay.
One medium carrot has 25 calories.
Our healthy snack is provided by Bause Catered Events in Pottstown with the help of a grant from the Pottstown Area Health and Wellness Foundation.
