I agree with a previous post that carotenoids are not paleofood.
Also not even moot, as I'm inclined to suspect that all the necessary
vitamins and minerals are made available by the microbes in our guts.

If this is true, then it might be that the greatest virtue of paleofood is
that we are no longer poisoning these microbes with evil neolithic
substances.  Including synthetic vitamins, fillers, binders etc.
