About Karotte

The carrot (Karotte), a staple root vegetable in many cuisines worldwide, originates from Persia, where it was initially cultivated for its seeds and leaves. Carrots have a crunchy texture and sweet flavor, making them versatile in dishes from salads to soups. Nutritionally, carrots are low in calories (around 41 per 100g) and fat, while providing a good source of carbohydrates and dietary fiber. They are particularly notable for their high levels of beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A. They also contain essential micronutrients such as calcium, iron, and vitamin C, supporting overall health. Carrots are enjoyed raw, cooked, or juiced, and their natural sugars make them a popular ingredient in both savory and sweet recipes.
