Orange carrots such as the Hercules cultivar that we chose are very high in Vitamin A giving you up to 110% your daily value in a single serving, but are also a good source of Vitamin C, iron, potassium and calcium.
They are full of antioxidants that have many health promoting and disease preventing benefits. Other cultivars have very similar nutritional values. However, the White Satin cultivar has the fewest antioxidants due to it's lack of pigmentation, but it is a great vegetable for people with carotene allergies. On the other hand, the Purple Haze is very high in antioxidants and has additional phytochemicals including anthocyanins due to the blue pigment. These chemicals promote good eyesight, metabolism boosters and heart, skin and colon healthiness.

They contain an antioxidant known as lutein which promotes good vision and healthy skin. Green beans are packed with vitamin A and Zea-xanthin, a carotenoid that may help prevent age related macular disease. They are also a good source of folates, an essential component of DNA synthesis and cell division. The yellow varieties, such as our Concador cultivar, are high in vitamin C, carotenoids and bioflavanoids. Together, bioflavanoids and vitamin C improve immune function. Our purple cultivar, Velour, is rich in flavanoids, which can reduce memory loss.
