The carrot (
Daucus carota subsp. sativus,
Etymology:
Middle French carotte, from
Late Latin car?ta, from
Greek ??????? kar?ton, originally from the
Indo-European root ker- (horn), due to its horn-like shape) is a
root vegetable, usually
orange in colour, though purple, red, white, and yellow varieties exist. It has a crisp texture when fresh. The most commonly eaten part of a carrot is a
taproot, although the greens are edible as well. It is a domesticated form of the
wild carrot Daucus carota, native to
Europe and southwestern
Asia. The domestic carrot has been selectively bred for its greatly enlarged and more palatable, less woody-textured edible taproot.
