High in Fiber
Fiber is a beneficial compound that speeds up digestion and helps your body absorb essential nutrients. For a healthy diet, men need 38 grams of fiber daily and women need 25 grams. Purple carrots provide about .8 gram of fiber per 1 ounce serving of raw sticks. For example, if you eat 1/2-cup, or 4 ounces, of purple carrot sticks, you get about 3 grams of fiber. Most of the fiber in purple carrots is soluble, which absorbs water in the digestive tract, forming a gel-like substance. As it travels through the intestines, it can help lower blood cholesterol and stabilize blood sugar levels.
