Beta-Carotene and the Pescatarian Diet

Beta Carotene is a red-orange pigment found in plants and fruits, especially carrots and colorful vegetables. It is one of the most well-known carotenoids and acts as a precursor to Vitamin A, which is essential for vision, immune function, and skin health. Beta Carotene is fat-soluble and is commonly used as a color additive in foods, providing an orange or yellow hue.
