Origin
Carrots are native to the region that is now Afghanistan and Iran. They were first cultivated around 900 AD in the region that is now Afghanistan. From there, they spread to Europe and other parts of the world through trade routes. Carrots were initially grown for their leaves and seeds, which were used for medicinal purposes, and it was only later that the root became the focus of cultivation. Today, carrots are grown in many countries around the world and are a staple ingredient in various cuisines.
