CARROTS ORIGINATED IN WHAT IS NOW AFGHANISTAN, IRAN, AND PAKISTAN AND BY ABOUT 1000 A.D., THEY WERE BEING GROWN FROM INDIA TO THE EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN. BY THE 1300S, PURPLE AND YELLOW CARROTS HAD SPREAD AS FAR AS WESTERN EUROPE AND CHINA. WHITE AND ORANGE CARROTS FIRST APPEARED IN EUROPE DURING THE 1700S. ORANGE CARROTS QUICKLY DISPLACED ALL OTHER COLORS AND DOMINATED THE WORLD TO THIS DAY.
CARROTS ARE AN EXCELLENT SOURCE OF VITAMIN A.
