[[File:13-08-31-wien-redaktionstreffen-EuT-by-Bi-frie-037.jpg|thumb|right|''Carrot'', ''Garjarah'']]
The carrot '''Daucus carota subsp''' is a root vegetable, usually orange in colour, though purple, black, red, white, and yellow varieties exist. Carrots are a domesticated form of the wild carrot Daucus carota, native to Europe and southwestern Asia. The plant probably originated in Persia and was originally cultivated for its leaves and seeds. Nowadays, the most commonly eaten part of the plant is the taproot, although the greens are sometimes eaten as well. The domestic carrot has been selectively bred for its greatly enlarged and more palatable, less woody-textured taproot.
