Fresh red carrots, often simply referred to as red carrots, are a type of carrot known for their vibrant red or deep reddish-purple color. They are a colorful and flavorful variation of the more common orange carrots and are enjoyed for their unique appearance and sweet taste. They are a good source of vitamins, particularly vitamin A (in the form of beta-carotene), vitamin C, and dietary fiber. They also provide minerals like potassium and folate.
