Carrot

The carrot (''Daucus carota'' subsp. ''sativus'') is a root vegetable, usually orange in colour, though purple, red, white, and yellow varieties exist.
It has a crisp texture when fresh. The most commonly eaten part of a carrot is a taproot, although the greens are sometimes eaten as well. It is a domesticated form of the wild carrot ''Daucus carota'', native to Europe and southwestern Asia. The domestic carrot has been selectively bred for its greatly enlarged and more palatable, less woody-textured edible taproot. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) reports that world production of carrots and turnips (these plants are combined by the FAO for reporting purposes) for calendar year 2011 was almost 35.658 million tonnes. Almost half were grown in China. Carrots are widely used in many cuisines, especially in the preparation of salads, and carrot salads are a tradition in many regional cuisines.
== Etymology ==
The word is first recorded in English around 1530 and was borrowed from Middle French ''carotte'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=carrot )〕 itself from Late Latin ''carōta'', from Greek καρωτόν ''karōton'', originally from the Indo-European root ''
*ker-'' (horn), due to its horn-like shape. In Old English, carrots (typically white at the time) were not clearly distinguished from parsnips, the two being collectively called ''moru'' or ''more'' (from Proto-Indo-European ''
*mork-'' "edible root", cf. German ''Möhre''). Various languages still use the same word for "carrot" as they do for "root"; e.g. Finnish ''yrtti'', Dutch ''wortel'', German ''wurzel''.
