This vegetable can be eaten raw, cooked, or juiced and comes in a variety of colors: yellow, orange, purple, red, and white. The main difference between them lies in their composition: orange is the most commonly found and is rich in alpha and beta carotenes, which are responsible for the production of vitamin A. While yellow has a higher concentration of lutein, purple is rich in the powerful antioxidant lycopene, and red is rich in anthocyanins.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
