A Begum, S M Pereira.   

Abstract

Thirtytwo varieties of edible green leaves were analysed for their beta carotene content in different seasons of the year. Several varieties were found to contain enough beta carotene to provide the daily requirements of vitamin A, even for an adult person, from a moderate serving (30g-100g).
