It is known that carrots were discovered more than 4,000 years ago. It is interesting that carrots were previously grown not for the sake of the root vegetable, but for the sake of juicy tops and seeds. The first mentions of carrots being used as food and medicine date back to the 1st century AD.

Carrots appeared in Europe only in the 9th-13th centuries. Then they spread to China, Japan and India. Then they came to America in 1607.
