What is the beta-carotene comparison of papaya to carrots?
Very good question..From what I have researched carrots are higher in beta-carotene;-)A half cup of carrots contains 19,000 International Units of Vitamin A and one half of a ripe papaya contains 1,047 IU Vitamin A, according to LiveStrong.com. If you find out differently,please let me know;-) Health is Wealth!!!
