The carotenoid family is made up of plant pigments that give vegetables and fruits a yellow and reddish hue. Ironically, the foods with highest natural levels of carotenoids are dark-green leafy vegetables like parsley, kale, spinach, peas, and broccoli. These excellent dark-green carotenoid sources are disguised by their own chlorophyll, which masks the lutein and zeaxanthin pigments.Olmedilla, B., Granado, F., Southon, S., Wright, A.
