I love carrots, both cooked and raw! 
I don't like them alone but I like carrots with other vegetables. The most commonly eaten part of the plant is the taproot (the orange part) but the greens can be eaten too. 
The greens can be eaten? I had no idea!! What else do you know about carrots?
Well, there are such things as wild carrots. But the domesticated form of the wild carrots ( the ones we eat) are part of the Daucus Carota family, which is native to Europe and southwestern Asia.
Oh wow! Do we import most of our carrots then or do they also grow in the US?
Well China produces 40% of the carrots globally, so I assume 4/10 carrots in the US must have come from there. Other major exporters are Ukraine and the US.
I didn't know that! No wonder they didn't grow well in my garden when I tried to grow them! 
Haha, carrots are stubborn I guess. Another interesting fact is that carrots can be purple, black, red, white, or yellow. Weird...
