Did you know that carrots are not just orange, they come in a variety of colors, including purple, yellow, and red too! They were first domesticated in Persia thousands of years ago and originally grown for their leaves and seeds. Over time, people started farming them for their sweet and edible roots. Carrots are now enjoyed all over the world in salads, soups, or just by themselves as a simple healthy snack.
