Carrots, young, canned in water, re-heated, drained

These are young carrots canned in water with no added salt, then re-heated and drained. They provide carbohydrate, fibre and vitamin A. Per 100g, they contain 4.2g of carbohydrate, 2.6g of fibre and 345µg of vitamin A, expressed as retinol equivalent. Their energy content is 87 kJ per 100g.

Carrots contain beta-carotene, which the body can convert into vitamin A. Vitamin A supports normal vision and immune function, while fibre helps maintain normal bowel function. These figures apply to carrots canned without added salt, and the salt content is recorded as trace. Salt content may differ in products with added salt, so labels are useful when comparing them.
