Carrot

Carrots are the root belonging to the plant of the same name and belong to the Apiaceae family. Carrots are a biennial plant that form few leaves and roots during the first year while, after a period of rest, the stems form and they bloom.

The edible part of the carrot is its edible root, which is thick and elongated, with a length that can vary depending on the variety. Although carrots are usually orange, their most representative varieties range between orange, purple, white, red and yellow in colour. Their flavour, whether cooked or raw, is very sweet. In Spain, the most widely sold variety is the Nantes half-long carrot.
