Also that “Apples, potatoes, and onions all taste the same when eaten with your nose plugged. This shows the nose plays the incredibly important part in the sense of taste. The fact that the three items have a similar consistency makes it virtually impossible to identify them without the sense of smell.”

And “vitamin A is known to prevent night blindness, and carrots are loaded with Vitamin A. One carrot provides more than 200% of recommended daily intake of Vitamin A.”
