I love harvesting carrots. Those orange root vegetables can also come in purple, black, white, and red!
I didn't know they have different colors.  Which are the healthiest?
They are all healthy though the plant likely originated in Persia for its leaves and seeds
that's amazing.  so carrots form from seeds?  can they be grown anywhere?
They are very hardy so it's easy to grow them in many climates. The carrot now is more commonly eaten for the root rather than the leaves or seeds
what's the best way to eat a carrot? cooked?
Yes, it is best to eat them cooked, they contain high levels of alpha and beta carotene
what does beta carotene do?
