Rich in beta-carotene, minerals, vitamins B, D, E, and fiber, carrots strengthen the immune system and, unlike other vegetables which lose some of the content of vitamins and minerals with the cooking, they see increasing bioavailability of beta-carotene (as happens with tomato that during cooking releases a greater amount of lycopene).
