10 Popular Mediterranean Diet Foods
Food #2: Carrots
Carrots are another important food for anyone hoping to follow the Mediterranean diet. Carrots can be used in a wide variety of dishes and provide the body with a number of nutrients.
Carrots are widely known as being an eye-healthy food. This is because they contain vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene, as well as antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin. The latter two are the only antioxidants which have been shown to be present in the tissue of the eye itself.
