What Foods Contain Carotene?
Discussion
Carotenemia is a common problem in infants as carotene containing foods are often the first solid foods for infants. This is a benign problem and families can be reassured. It resolves in weeks to months depending on the diet. Carotenes are not synthesized by humans and are obtained through the diet. Carotenes are ingested as amorphous solids and crystals and breakdown of cellular membranes increases the bioavailability of the carotenes. Breakdown of the walls is often mechanical (e.g. grinding up of the food), but absorption is also affected through pancreatic lipases, thyroid hormone, bile acids, dietary fiber...

The plant is curiously described as "gender bending," coming from the fact that the females actually pretend to be male by producing pollen. Martine, who named the plant Solanum cowiei, recently detailed his findings in the journal PhytoKeys. (Source: EurekAlert! - Biology)
