Vitamin A?!
Answers: are there any foods or vegetables out there that have a very very high source of vitamin A? If so, plz tell me. I'd really appreciate it!
You should'd have to worry too much about vitamin A if you eat vegetables at all. Pumpkin and carrots are probably the best sources as are dark green leafy vegetables.
Vitamin A is fat soluable so you can store it for over a month in your body. Your body will convert beta carotine(from veggies) into vitamin as you need it, but too much vitamin A in suppliments can be bad for you. Also, in case you happen to be hungry for Polar Bear liver, only three onces of it can have enough vitamin A to kill you...
All green and orange fruits/vegetables, like chard, spinach, cantaloupe, carrots, etc. They are high in beta carotene, which is converted to Vitamin A in the body.
Although beta carotene is orange, it is masked by the chlorophyll in green veggies.
Carrots are extremely high ni Vitamin A. 1 medium sized carrot will give you 270% of in our total daily vitamin A needs when all you need is 100%!
Vitamin A = CARROTS!!
