Carrots – Crisp Freshness for Your Kitchen

Discover the Versatility of Carrots

Carrots belong to the Apiaceae family and are one of the most popular vegetables worldwide. Their bright orange root is not only visually appealing but also impresses with its sweet taste and crisp texture.​

Why Carrots?

• Rich in Nutrients: Carrots are an excellent source of beta-carotene, which is converted into vitamin A in the body and contributes to the maintenance of normal vision.
• Versatile: Whether raw as a snack, cooked in soups, or steamed as a side dish – carrots enrich numerous dishes and add color to your plate.​
• Long Shelf Life: When stored in a cool and dark place, carrots remain fresh and crisp for several weeks.​

The cultivated form of the carrot, the garden carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus), was bred from the wild carrot (Daucus carota subsp. carota). It is believed to have originated in Western Asia and spread worldwide from there. Today, carrots are available in various colors such as orange, yellow, white, and even purple, with the orange variety being the most common.​

Tips for Preparation

To preserve the full flavor and nutrients of carrots, it is recommended to wash them thoroughly before consumption and only peel them thinly, or leave the skin on entirely for young carrots. They are excellent for raw salads, but can also be steamed, boiled, or fried. Their sweet aroma harmonizes particularly well with spices such as ginger, honey, or fresh herbs.​

Enrich your kitchen with the crisp freshness of carrots and enjoy their versatility in numerous dishes!​
