I've been growing my own food lately and I gotta say, carrots rule. They can take like 4 months to grow but it's so worth it. 
I loved carrots! They are really good for you, too.
Yeah! Most people just eat the taproot, but you can actually eat the greens, too. Most stores cut the greens off before they're sold though, which is kinda sad
I've never actually eaten the greens. I just assumed they were bitter and pointless.
Believe it or not, all carrots are actually supposed to bitter lol. They've been selectively bred to make them bigger, tastier, and less wood-like in texture. Agriculture is so cool. 
I never knew that! It is cool.
You can breed crops to change color, too. Everyone knows about orange carrots, and I think purple carrots are becoming more well-known. But carrots can also be black, red, white, and yellow.
