Oh,the carrot!So delicious and nutritious,and packed into a neat little package.I love carrots!They taste so crunchy and are yummy chew.
The carrots is aroot vegetable that grows underground.It's usually orange and packed with carotene,which the body turns into vitamin A. Vitamin A is good for the eyes.When you bite carrot in half,the cross section sort of looks like an eye,or an orange tree stump.Carrots are not trees,they're plants that can be grown in a garden.Tomatoes can be grown in a gareden too,but tomatoes grow above the ground,not like carrots.tomatoes are round too,not like carrots,which are long and cylindrical and taper toward the end.In the medieval days,before knives were invented,people used carrots as knives.They would have long battles,and at the end they would eat their carrot knives and laugh in the sun because no one got hurt in the fight.
Carrots are used in cooking,too.Slice up some carrots,celery and onions and you have mirepoix.boil this in water and it's a base for many soups.I eat chicken noodle soup when I'm sick.My dog likes bacon.
In China,they used carrots for many medicinal purposes.They were used to promote the secretion of milk.In the old days in China,everyone secreted milk from their nipples,even men.That's where the term "milkman" came from.Sometimes,if you listen really hard.you can hear the weeping of a carrot in your coleslaw.
