We are used to seeing carrots as one of the ingredients for salads, soups and other dishes. But in Spain and Portugal, for example, they make delicious jam from it, because in these countries this plant is not classified as a vegetable, but as a fruit. And in other parts of the world, carrots are heavily fried, and then a drink is made from them, which, according to some tasters, is remotely reminiscent of coffee.

For some time it was believed that eating carrots improves eyesight. Vitamin A is indeed present in this plant, which is necessary for the normal development of the visual system, but the fact of improving impaired vision due to the use of carrots has not been confirmed. This myth was fueled by a rumor that was actively spread by the British during the Second World War that they fed their air force pilots carrots, and supposedly this is why the British air force is so successful in its night flights and in hitting targets. And in fact, the government of Great Britain sought to hide the fact of using radars for this purpose.

Why is carrot so called in Korean?
Carrot in Korean - Wikipedia
Carrot in Korean comes from the traditional Korean dish kimchi (cabbage with spices). Since in the USSR it was difficult to get the Beijing cabbage required by the recipe, carrots were added to the dish. Over time, carrots completely replaced cabbage, so only carrots with spices remained from the original dish.

Where did carrots come to us?
History The modern garden carrot is a descendant of the wild one, which still grows in the mountains of Afghanistan (ancient Bactria). The roots of wild carrots are thin, bitter, usually purple in color. So at first, people did not eat root crops, but the juicy greens of carrots.
