FRUITS AND VEGETABLES and Vitamin A in two forms: Retinol and beta-carotene

FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
Vitamin A is available in two forms, retinol and beta-carotene. Retinol is found in animal products and beta-carotene in fruits and vegetables. Retinol is the most readily absorbed form of vitamin A. While beta-carotene is not as readily absorbed, it can be converted into retinol within the body. Pumpkin, tomato, melon, kale, broccoli, mango, grapefruit, papaya, guava, carrots, spinach, peppers and squash are a few examples of foods rich in the beta-carotene form of vitamin A.
