Carrot juice is a vegetable juice rich in beta-carotene — the orange pigment the body converts to vitamin A — alongside potassium, vitamin K, and some B vitamins. It provides meaningfully more beta-carotene per glass than most other juices and counts as a vegetable portion. Its natural sugar content is moderate, and it retains some of the soluble pectin from the original carrot.
A 150ml glass counts as one vegetable portion. Beta-carotene is fat-soluble — pairing with a small amount of fat (a handful of nuts alongside, or an olive-oil-based dressing at the same meal) improves absorption.

Glycemic Index & Load
Low GI food — causes a slow, steady rise in blood sugar. Ideal for sustained energy, blood glucose control, and reducing insulin demand.
Glycemic Load (GL = GI × carbs ÷ 100) accounts for portion size. A low GL means this food has minimal real-world blood sugar impact.

* % Daily Value is the proportion of an adult
EU Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) supplied by 100g of this food.
NRVs are the labelling standard — the same basis as the “%RI” figures printed on
food packaging — so these percentages are directly comparable with a shop label.
They are a single adult figure and do not vary by age or sex, which is why they
sometimes differ from UK dietary reference values: the NRV for vitamin C is 80mg
where the UK RNI is 40mg. When Nutriofia assesses your own intake in the
reports and trackers, it uses the age- and sex-specific UK values instead.
Fibre is shown without a percentage. Our fibre values use the UK
Englyst NSP method, while the published 30g daily goal is an AOAC figure — the two
are measured differently and a single percentage would mislead.
