Did you know?
Carrots were originally purple or yellow, before the orange variety was developed in 17th-century Netherlands as a tribute to the royal House of Orange.
The bright orange color comes from beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A, essential for eye and skin health.
Carotenemia is a harmless condition caused by eating too many carrots—it can turn your skin slightly orange!
Carrot cake became popular during sugar shortages in World War II when carrots were used as a natural sweetener.
Baby carrots aren’t a separate variety—they’re machine-cut and peeled from full-grown carrots to improve convenience and reduce waste.
Drawback
High beta-carotene intake can cause carotenemia, a harmless condition where the skin turns slightly orange.
Some people may experience digestive discomfort from eating raw carrots due to their high fiber content.
Carrots contain vitamin K1, which may interact with blood-thinning medications like warfarin if consumed in large quantities.
