Of course they do. You will never look at carrots in the same way again.
They are amazing.
When you were younger did your parents ever say to you that you need to eat all your vegetables to grow strong and healthy? My parents did and my dad always told me to eat my carrots so I can see in the dark.
I loved these and bonus they would make me see in the dark.
I was going to have super human carrot power!..
I would wake up at night and check if I could see in the dark. I would look around my room and try really hard to see something, but couldn’t see a thing. I thought I just needed to eat more carrots! I would munch my way through raw carrots, just like bugs bunny I used to love watching.
Disappointingly I never did get the super power of night vision, but I do thank my parents for introducing me when young to a healthy balanced diet. I also enjoy all my vegetables now even cabbage!
I have found that there is however some seed of truth with eating carrots and vision.
Carrots have a good source of vitamin A which is important for healthy eyesight. Carrots contain Beta-carotene that helps to protect vision, especially night vision. After beta-carotene is converted to vitamin A in the liver, it travels to the retina where it is transformed into rhodopsin, a purple pigment that is necessary for night-vision.
