What is Carrot?
Carrot is a root vegetable known scientifically as Daucus carota. It is prized for its vibrant orange color and sweet, crunchy taste. Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which converts to vitamin A in the body and supports eye health, immune function, and skin health. They are widely used in culinary dishes and raw as snacks.
Where is it sourced?
Carrots are sourced from temperate regions worldwide, including Europe, Asia, and North America. They grow best in well-drained, sandy loam soils and require a cool climate for optimal growth. Carrots are cultivated year-round, with major producers including China, Russia, and the United States, supplying fresh carrots for culinary use and as a nutritious vegetable.
