Calvin Carrot

Hi! I'm Calvin Carrot. I like earning good grades and winning spelling bees. I also like to eat at least 5 fruits and vegetables every day. You know the saying,"5 A Day is the magic way, more is okay but eat less? No way!" You can learn more about healthy eating and me on the Healthy Adventures CD-ROM.

Can you say carotene? It's pronounced "care-ah-teen". Carotene is what makes carrots orange. And, the orange color tells you that carrots are an excellent source of Vitamin A, which helps keep your eyes strong.

Bright orange carrots are a great snack because they are sweet and crunchy! And baby carrots make eating carrots any time so easy. Are you eating carrots as part of your 5 to 9 servings each day? I sure hope so!
