History:
Carrots originated in the region of modern-day Afghanistan around 5,000 years ago, initially cultivated for their aromatic leaves and seeds, not their roots. The first cultivated carrots were purple or yellow, and it wasn't until the 17th century that Dutch farmers selectively bred yellow and red varieties to create the orange carrot that is common today.
Flavor Profile:
Carrot microgreens have a mild, sweet, and earthy flavor profile, similar to a young carrot. They also have a fresh, slightly nutty, and sometimes subtly spicy taste with a crisp, tender texture.
Uses:
Carrot microgreens can be used as a garnish for salads, soups, and sandwiches, added to smoothies for a nutrient boost, or incorporated into salads and other dishes for a mild, earthy flavor and crunchy texture. Their versatility allows them to be used raw as a fresh topping or blended into drinks and sauces like pesto.
