Vitamin A (mcg RAE)
How much vitamin A do you get from carrots?
Although 100 grams of cooked carrot contain about 17,000 IU vitamin A, that's only 852 micrograms of retinol activity equivalents (RAE). Whereas, 100 grams of pan-fried beef liver contains about 26,000 IU vitamin A, or 7,700 micrograms RAE.
Is one carrot enough for vitamin A?
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommends at least 700 to 900 micrograms of vitamin A a day for adults and children over the age of 4. One whole raw carrot contains enough vitamin A to meet the FDA recommendation, as does one slice of pumpkin pie.
