Vitamin A Rich Food #4: Butternut Squash
Butternut squash is a delicious orange-colored source of beta-carotene, the inactive form of Vitamin A. This would be converted into vitamin A in your liver. The nutty flavor comes out once the squash is drizzled with olive oil and salt and baked at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. Butternut squash can give up to 400% of the daily needed vitamin A.
In just one cup of butternut squash, 14,882 IU of vitamin A can be found. It is also rich in dietary fiber and vitamin C. People with a high intake of butternut squash are less likely to develop a variety of chronic illnesses, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
