Did you know?
Carrots are rich in beta carotene, but also in lutein and zeaxanthin, precious antioxidants that contribute to eye health. Also a source of lutein and zeaxanthin, kale is perfect for an eye-healthy menu!
In addition, sesame seeds contain zinc. With its antioxidant action, this mineral plays a role in the production of melanin (pigment that protects the eyes against harmful UV rays).
