Carrots are root vegetables that were first grown in Afghanistan around 900 AD. Orange may be their best-known color, but they also come in other hues, including purple, yellow, red, and white. Early carrots were purple or yellow. Orange carrots were developed in Central Europe around the 15th or 16th century.

This popular and versatile veggie may taste slightly different depending on the color, size, and where it's grown. The sugar in carrots gives them a slightly sweet flavor, but they can taste earthy or bitter.

Organic vs. nonorganic carrots

Organic carrots are grown using natural fertilizers and are less likely to have pesticide residues because they're protected against pests and diseases using mechanical and biological methods.

Carrots come in several varieties. You can tell them apart by the shape, color, and length of the root, which is the part most people eat. The most common varieties include:

Imperator carrots: They are long, with a tapered tip and small shoulders (the part near the green tops).

Nantes carrots: These are of medium length and have a blunt tip. They are popular with home gardeners.

Danvers carrots: They are large and of medium length.

Chantenay carrots: These are short with large shoulders.

Purple carrots: These are the original carrots. They are long and purple and contain antioxidants called anthocyanins that support your health by preventing blood clots, promoting muscle recovery, and more.

Rainbow carrots: Carrots can come in colors besides orange. Different color carrots include yellow, red, white, and purple.

They're low-calorie and versatile snacks, too. You can easily add carrots to your diet for a tasty and nutritious treat, like a healthier bread or dessert.

Actual baby carrots are simply carrots that are harvested before growing to full maturity. They're about 3 to 4 inches long and resemble tiny versions of their fully grown counterparts.

Carrots have a wealth of antioxidants and offer many health benefits. Here are the highlights:

They may lower your risk of cancer. Carrots contain antioxidants, which have been proven to fight off harmful free radicals in your body. Free radicals damage cells, possibly contributing to cancer. The two main types of antioxidants in carrots are carotenoids and anthocyanins. Carotenoids give carrots their orange and yellow colors, while anthocyanins cause the red and purple coloring.

They help your heart. All those antioxidants are also good for your heart. The potassium in carrots also can help keep your blood pressure in check.

Red carrots also have lycopene, which helps prevent heart disease.

They can help with constipation. If you're having trouble going to the bathroom, try munching on some raw carrots. With their high fiber content, they can help ease constipation and keep you regular.

They can help control diabetes. Non-starchy vegetables, including carrots, are essential parts of a healthy diet for people with diabetes. The fiber in carrots can help keep blood sugar levels under control. Loaded with vitamin A and beta carotene, carrots can lower your diabetes risk, evidence suggests.

They can strengthen your bones. Carrots have calcium and vitamin K, which are important for bone health.

They might help you lose weight. Carrots have very few calories per serving. Also, the fiber in carrots can help you feel full, so you won't eat as much, reducing calorie intake overall and supporting weight loss.

They can help lower cholesterol. Studies have also linked eating carrots to lower cholesterol.

They are good for your teeth and gums. Think of them as nature's toothbrush. They scrub your teeth as you chew, removing harmful plaque buildup from the enamel. They also remove surface stains, leaving you with a brighter smile.

Carrot benefits for your skin

Vitamin C in carrots is also important for its skin health-promoting benefits. It helps the body make collagen, a protein that supports skin structure, elasticity, strength, and cell turnover. It also protects the skin from UV damage.

Yellow carrots have lutein, which is also good for your eyes. Studies have found that it can help with or prevent age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of vision loss in the U.S.

In extreme cases, overeating beta carotene from carrots can keep vitamin A from doing its job and affect your vision, bones, skin, metabolism, or immune system.

Too much beta carotene also may cause problems for people who can't change it to vitamin A, such as people who have hypothyroidism.

Carrots can become contaminated during production and packaging, with pathogens that cause foodborne illness like salmonella, shigella, hepatitis A virus, norovirus, and Cyclospora cayetanensis . Thoroughly clean and cook your carrots to reduce your chances of becoming ill from eating them.

Fresh, whole carrots can be kept fresh for up to 2 weeks in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator. If the leafy green tops are still attached, trim those first. Then, store them in a plastic bag with holes in it.

They also feature as a main ingredient in cuisines from around the world, including gajar ka halwa (India), morkovcha (Korea), and carrot cake (U.S.).

To prepare carrots, wash them thoroughly in water and scrub off any dirt. You can peel them with a vegetable peeler or knife if you'd like, but you don't have to.

From there, you might slice them into sticks and eat them with hummus or a yogurt-based dip. If you don't like crunchy carrots, you can steam, boil, or roast them and serve them as a side dish. They also work well in savory dishes such as beef stew, chicken pot pie, and stir-fry.

Carrots thrive in well-drained and fertile soils with plenty of sunlight. Before planting, add organic matter and fertilizer to the soil you're using. Sow the seeds 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep. When seedlings have three to four true leaves, space them around 3 inches apart in rows 12 to 18 inches apart. Water the carrots frequently and uniformly for them to grow well. Keep an eye out for insects and diseases, and control them as needed. Harvest them when the leaves are fully grown.

You can grow carrots from carrot tops by cutting off the top of the carrot and regrowing only the leaves. This means the taproot, or carrot itself, can't be regrown.
