Key Attributes
Appearance: Carrots are root vegetables with long, cylindrical shape with tapered ends. They typically have a bright orange color. Carrots have a smooth outer skin and a crunchy, fibrous texture.
Texture: Carrots have a firm and crunchy texture, especially when raw. The inner flesh of carrots is juicy, with a slightly crisp bite. Cooked carrots soften and become tender, while still retaining some texture.
Flavor: Carrots offer a mildly sweet and earthy flavor with a hint of natural sweetness. The taste becomes more pronounced when carrots are cooked, developing caramelized notes. Carrots also have a refreshing and slightly vegetal taste, making them versatile for both savory and sweet dishes.
By the 13th century, carrots were being cultivated in China and northwestern Europe. The wild carrot mistakenly spread as a weed in the United States during European colonization.
