Golden Carrot

Golden carrots are a brewing ingredient used to make Potions of Night Vision.

Trivia

 * Golden carrots being used for Potions of Night Vision is based on the common belief that eating carrots can improve one's vision; this is only true if the person has a vitamin A deficiency.
 * Golden Carrots may be the most beneficial (magical effects excluding) food item so far: their effective food+saturation value is 20.4 - just a bit less than that of meat (20.8), and they are 1.5 times as nourishing, meaning you'll spend a greater fraction of time in saturated state with health regeneration on. Of course you'll probably need a huge pigman grinder to afford such a diet.
 * Mojang changed the texture of the Golden Carrot, because many posted that it looked really bad and looked like it was something gross.
