We dig carrots!How does your carrot grow?
Underground, of course!
Carrots are root vegetables. Green stems and leaves sprout up from the
soil; the part we eat is the root, and
grows down in the earth.
How did we get from here…. … to here?
Carrots grow in many colors and sizes. Somewhere along the line, people decided orange carrots looked better– so farmers began to cultivate orange carrots.
Did you know that “baby carrots” are actually mature carrots cut up
into small, regular pieces? A farmer discovered that people like buying peeled carrots without green tops
or long roots. Now some people think they grow that way!
Learn what real food looks like. What you choose to eat matters!
Look for a rainbow of delicious locally grown carrots! Enjoy this month’s Harvest of the Month.
