Origins

The carrot is native to Central Asia, more specifically modern-day Afghanistan.
From there, it spread eastward, taking on a red or otherwise dark color, and westward, turning yellow and white.
The orange carrots we know today were, however, carefully selected in the Netherlands during the 16th century.

The color we know today was the result of a long process of natural selection and, later, human intervention. This color is due to the presence of high levels of beta-carotene, a pigment that our bodies convert into vitamin A.

Initially, the goal of carrot breeding was to improve crop yield.
Over time, however, farmers began to select carrots with a deeper, more uniform color and focused on carrots with sweeter, crisper flesh, which are preferred by consumers.

Orange carrots soon became popular throughout Europe, both for their appealing appearance and for their sweet, crisp flavor.
Since then, orange carrots have become one of the most widely grown and consumed vegetables in the world.
