Fill your plate with colorful fruits and vegetables! Beta-carotene is one of a group of red, orange, and yellow pigments called carotenoids. The body converts beta-carotene to vitamin A, and the U.S Food and Drug Administration doesn’t set a daily value for beta-carotene or other carotenoids that can be turned into vitamin A. However, according to the National Academy of Sciences, eating five or more servings of fruits and vegetables each day, including dark green and leafy vegetables and deep yellow or orange fruits, is sufficient.
