Hello everyone! Today I want to share a photo of carrots, that grew in my garden.

This is the most ancient root crop, that people began to eat. According to legend, the man saw a horse eating carrots. He was curious and he took from the animal the plant. Carrots are an excellent source of a large number of vitamins and minerals. The content of carotene it is superior to all fruits and vegetables with the exception of sea buckthorn. It is this element gives it an orange color. The peculiarity of carotene contained in carrots in large quantities - that it is not destroyed by heat treatment. That is, even in boiled or fried, carotene is absorbed by the body, where it turns into retinol.

Eat carrots and be healthy! Thanks for reading!

Hey dear gardener,

this form of carrots are caused by a ground that is to solid.
Carrots are tap-rooting plants that need a soft ground, else the roots can't go deeper.
Stones, wood pieces, ... mostly the reason for it.

Maybe pick another grow spot next time. :-)

Not all carrots in my garden are like on the photo. Basically, all vegetables are smooth and flat, but come across such instances)

Hmm reminds me of something...

Carrot juice has a point on its own since it is tasting good.
