Pakistani farmers wash carrots in a canal water by Rana Sajid Hussain
Pakistani farmers wash carrots in a canal water during harvest season at a farm on the outskirts of Lahore on March 15, 2019. The carrot is a root vegetable, usually orange in colour, though purple, black, red, white, and yellow cultivars exist.Carrots are a domesticated form of the wild carrot, Daucus carota, native to Europe and southwestern Asia. The plant probably originated in Persia and was originally cultivated for its leaves and seeds. The most commonly eaten part of the plant is the taproot, although the stems and leaves are eaten as well. The domestic carrot has been selectively bred for its greatly enlarged, more palatable, less woody-textured taproot.
