Something you can make with sliced carrots
Origin
Carrots are believed to have originated in Central Asia, specifically in the region that is now modern-day Afghanistan. They were initially cultivated for their leaves and seeds, rather than their roots. Over time, the wild carrot plant was selectively bred to have larger and sweeter roots, eventually leading to the development of the orange carrot we are familiar with today. Carrots have been cultivated for thousands of years and have spread to various parts of the world through trade and exploration. They are now widely grown and consumed in many countries around the globe.
