Carrot 5pcs (Approx 600g)
Carrots, botanically classified as Daucus carota subs. sativus, are slender, edible, underground taproots that grow frilly leaves in a rosette pattern and belong to the Apiaceae family along with celery, parsnips, and parsley. Labeled as a root vegetable, there are many different varieties of Carrots found in a wide array of colors that are harvested at multiple stages of maturity for commercial sale. Carrots have been cultivated since ancient times and were deeply rooted in the diets and traditional medicine of Asian and European cultures. Despite our familiarity today with the bright orange variety, orange carrots did not arrive into the commercial marketplace until the 16th and 17th centuries. There are two descriptors used to define the root’s origins that are labeled as Eastern and Western. Eastern carrots include many of the red, black, and purple varieties, while Western carrots include yellow, white, and orange varieties.
