Морковь — это корнеплод, в котором много воды и сахара. Морковь, которую мы едим сегодня, произошла от дикой моркови, росшей в Европе и Азии. Этот овощ был сладким, и люди начали использовать его в пищу. Существует два основных вида моркови. Восточная морковь имеет тёмно-фиолетовые корнеплоды, а западная — оранжевые. На самом деле оранжевая морковь впервые появилась в Европе в 1721 году. Голландские фермеры выбрали её, потому что оранжевый — цвет голландской королевской семьи. Сейчас оранжевую морковь широко выращивают по всему миру. Сегодня люди готовят и едят морковь разными способами. Обычно её варят, жарят, запекают или едят сырой.
