The carrot is a root vegetable typically characterized by its vibrant orange color, though it can also come in shades of purple, red, yellow, and white. It has a crunchy texture and a sweet, slightly earthy flavor. Carrots are cylindrical in shape, tapering to a point, and have a smooth, firm skin. They are versatile in both raw and cooked forms, commonly used in salads, soups, stews, and as a snack. Rich in vitamins, particularly vitamin A (from beta-carotene), carrots are also a good source of fiber, vitamins C and K, and potassium.
