10% of US adults consume recommended vegetable intake, so carrots can help increase it.

Carrots offer a simple way to boost nutrient intake, according to nutritionists. Eating three servings of baby carrots a week can provide significant nutritional benefits from the orange root vegetables. A recent unpublished study at Nutrition 2024 in Chicago found that only about 1 in 10 American adults consume the recommended 2-3 cups of vegetables daily, making carrots an easy option for increasing vegetable consumption.
