Carrot

A carrot is a root vegetable, typically orange in color, though purple, black, red, white, and yellow varieties exist. It is a domesticated form of the wild carrot, Daucus carota, and belongs to the Apiaceae family. Carrots are known for their crisp texture when fresh and are a rich source of beta-carotene, fiber, vitamin K1, potassium, and antioxidants. They are eaten in various ways, including raw, cooked, and as an ingredient in many savory and sweet dishes worldwide.
