Easily cultivated and very commonly grown, carrots are one of the world's most important root vegetable crops, and many of our cuisines might be very different without them!

Wild carrots are bitter and small, and have little appeal as food. But through human cultivation and domestication, it has become a versatile vegetable that comes in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes.

Wild carrot seeds found in Switzerland and southern Germany date back to 2000-3000 BC. In case you didn't know, the wild carrot was originally cultivated only as a medicinal plant, with humans utilizing its leaves and seeds rather than consuming the root.

While the carrots of origin are red, the orange "carrots" we see most often today were bred by the Dutch and were the same color as the original Dutch flag.
