Carrot History: From Wild Roots to Global Fame! 🌍⏳🪴👑
Did you know carrots have been around for over 5,000 years?
Here’s their glow-up timeline:
• 3000 BCE (Afghanistan/Iran region) – Wild, tough, and mostly purple or white carrots grew in the mountains. 🏔️🟣⚪
• Egyptians and Greeks used carrots for medicine, not munching! 🧪📜
• 1st century AD – Romans began cultivating them, but they still weren’t sweet or orange. 🇮🇹🥕
• 10th century (Asia & Middle East) – Yellow and purple varieties started showing up in recipes. 🍽️🟡🟣
• 1600s (Netherlands) – Dutch farmers selectively bred orange carrots (rich in beta-carotene) as a tribute to the royal House of Orange! 🧡👩🏾🌾⚜️
• Modern day? – Carrots come in all colors again, purple, red, yellow, white, and orange! 🌈🥕
Fun fact: Purple carrots are rich in anthocyanins, which are powerful antioxidants!
So yes, eating colorful carrots = eating like royalty.
