What it is

Carrot puree is made from carrots that have been cooked and blended into a smooth paste. It is derived from the root vegetable, carrots, which are known for their orange color and slightly sweet flavor.

Why it's used

Carrot puree is used as a natural food coloring to impart an orange hue and as a flavor enhancer in various food products. It can also contribute to texture and moisture, and is found in items like sauces, soups, baked goods, and baby foods.

Health notes

Carrot puree is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated carrot ingredients, and no significant health concerns are associated with its consumption at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Carrot puree is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
