Golden rice is rich in (A) Beta-carotene and ferritin. It's genetically modified to produce beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A, and ferritin, a protein that helps the plant store iron. These additions aim to address vitamin A deficiency, which is a significant health issue in many parts of the world.
