What is it?
Vitamin A is an organic compound that is soluble in fats. We all need Vitamin A in very small amounts. Hence, it is referred to as a micronutrient. A deficiency of this vitamin can cause serious problems and illnesses.
Where is it found?
Vitamin A is widely found in animal and plant foods. It is present in the form of retinol in animal foods and as carotene in plant foods.
Animal Foods: Liver, eggs, butter, cheese, whole milk, fish and meat are full of this vitamin. Fish liver oil is the richest natural source.
Plant foods: Green leafy vegetables are full of carotene. The darker the leaves, higher the carotene content. Most green and yellow fruits too have it in a good measure especially papaya, mango, etc. Carrots are a very good source of this vitamin. Vanaspati, margarine and milk also have Vitamin A.
