Etymology

The word 'carrot' originated from the Middle French word 'carotte', which came from the Latin word 'carota'. Carrots have been cultivated for thousands of years and were originally purple or white in color. The orange carrot we are familiar with today was developed by Dutch growers in the 17th century.
