Carrots are native to Afghanistan. Wow they have travelled a long way!Carrots were originally found in red, black, yellow, white and purple varieties – everything but orange! It was the Dutch who developed the orange carrot, and the French who most likely developed the elongated carrot, ancestor of the ones we eat today. (Don’t ask us why it was probably the French.
