Carrots are sweet, delicious and crispy. They are very healthy vegetables for the daily diet. In fact, these tubers benefit our health by their healthy compounds in large quantities, such as, for example, beta-carotenes, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Botanically, these primary roots belonged to the Apiaceaes or the Umbelliferae, which are a family of this genus; Daucus and scientifically known as Daucus carota. Among the other members close to the Apiaceaes we can name the turnips, the parsley, the dill, the cumin, etc. The carrot plant is grown all over the world mainly because of its precious root. The plant is biannual and has flowers during the second year of life. However, in general the plant is harvested prematurely when the root reaches approximately two and a half centimeters in diameter, so it is tender and juicy. Carrots can vary widely in color and shape, depending on the types of crops. In general, the oriental taproots are long, flat with the ends sharp as a tail. They are grown in winter in many parts of Asia. European carrots, on the other hand, have more rounded ends with an almost cylindrical body. In addition, the European variety is characterized by its bright orange color. The Asian varieties are colored saffron.
