Carrots are easy to grow and easy to harvest. They taste good. And they contain a lot of carotene( 胡萝卜素).

When people think of carrots, they usually say it's a vegetable that is long, thin and orange. But carrots come in many different sizes and shapes. And not all carrots are orange. For example, Paris Market carrots are about five centimetres around. Belgian White carrots are, as their names suggest, white.

For the best results, carrots should be grown in sandy soil that does not hold water for a long time. The soil also should have no rocks. To prepare your garden for carrots, dig up the soil, loosen it and turn it over. Then, mix in some plant material. Weather, soil conditions and age will affect the way carrots taste. Experts say warm days, cool nights and a medium soil temperature are the best conditions for growing carrots that taste great.

Carrots need time to develop their full sugar content. This gives them their taste. The best way to judge if a carrot is ready to be harvested is by its color. Usually, the brighter the colour, the better the taste.

If the ground does freeze in your part of the world, simply cover your carrot garden with a thick layer(层) of leaves or straw. This will prevent the ground from freezing. You can remove the ground cover and harvest the carrots as they are needed.

Carrots are one of the world's most popular vegetables. They can be cooked and prepared in many different ways.
