carrot

🥕 A humble root with superpowers! Carrots aren’t just crunchy and sweet—they’re packed with nutrients like beta-carotene, which your body converts into vitamin A to support healthy vision, skin, and immune function. They come in a rainbow of colors too: orange, purple, red, yellow, and even white2.

Here’s a quick bite of carrot trivia:

• Originated in Central Asia, likely Iran and Afghanistan
• First cultivated for their leaves and seeds, not roots
