Different coloured carrots.:

Orange Carrots contain beta carotene,with some alpha-carotene, both of which are orange pigments. High in Vitamin A essential for well-being, healthy eyes. These carrots originate from Europe and the Middle East.

 Yellow carrots contain xanthophylls, pigments similar to beta carotene, which help develop healthy eyes aid in the fight against macular degeneration and may prevent lung and other cancers. These came from the Middle East.
  

 Red carrots contain lycopene, (another form of carotene)a pigment also found in tomatoes and watermelon; lycopene helps prevent heart disease and some cancers including prostate cancer. Originally from India and China.

 Purple carrots (usually orange inside) get their pigment from an entirely different class,the anthocyanins, these pigments act as powerful antioxidants, grabbing and holding on to harmful free radicals in the body. Anthocyanins also help prevent heart disease by slowing blood clotting and the antioxidant ties up harmful free radicals. These originate from Turkey, and the Middle and Far East.

 White carrots lack pigment, but may contain other health-promoting substances called phytochemicals. One would say these are the least healthy of carrots. They originate from Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan
