Carrots are root vegetables with attractive bright orange engorged roots and pretty green leaves, similar to ferns. They are supposed to be good for your eyes. Carrots are considered to be “rabbit food” probably because of one famous bunny but the label has stuck. Many humans like carrots too and they are good for more than just the eyes. Carrots can be bought all year around. If you get them from the farmer’s market, they will probably be bunched together by the green tops like they were just pulled out of the ground.
