carotenoid
Orange plant compound
Carotenoids are pigments that produce yellow, orange, and red colors in plants and animals.
They give carrots their orange, tomatoes their red, and flamingos their pink.
Found in fruits, vegetables, and autumn leaves, carotenoids serve as antioxidants and some convert to vitamin A in the body: Eating carotenoid-rich foods may support eye health.
