Scientific and Historical Insights

Carrots (Daucus carota) belong to the Apiaceae family and have been cultivated for thousands of years. Originally grown for their leaves and seeds, they were later bred for their taproots. The orange carrot we know today was developed in the Netherlands in the 17th century as a tribute to the House of Orange. This vibrant vegetable has since become a global favorite, rich in vitamins and minerals.

From an environmental perspective, growing carrots can contribute positively to your garden's ecosystem. They are known to improve soil structure and can be intercropped with other plants to maximize space and yield. Additionally, carrots can help attract beneficial insects, promoting biodiversity and reducing the need for chemical pesticides.
