In the world of vegetables, the carrot is an astounding figure. Its vibrant orange color makes it an irresistible treat to our eyes. But carrots didn’t start out orange. They were originally either white or purple when they first cultivated in Persia, which is today’s Iran and Afghanistan.
Our bright, orange carrots we know today were a tribute to the royal House of Orange in the Netherlands, where farmers specially cultivated them in the 17th century.
Here is an adorable fact: in the ancient Greco-Roman world that carrots were a powerful aphrodisiac. Funny as it might seem, those mighty Romans and intelligent Greeks thought eating carrots would put you in the mood for love.
A quite surprising fact: eating too many carrots can turn your skin orange! This condition is called carotenemia. It’s harmless, but perhaps not the most desirable look.
Have you ever contemplated how much pressure you use to bite into a carrot? It might seem irrelevant but here’s a fun fact: The pressure required to bite into a carrot is the same as the pressure needed to bite off a human finger! Grim, but true.
While statistics indicate that an average person devours about 17 pounds of carrots in a year worldwide, China holds the record for being the largest carrot consumer thanks to the help of pandas.
