carrot

The carrot is a root vegetable, typically orange in color, though purple, black, red, white, and yellow cultivars exist, all of which are domesticated forms of the wild carrot.
The carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus) is a root vegetable, typically orange in color, though purple, black, red, white, and yellow cultivars exist, all of which are domesticated forms of the wild carrot, Daucus carota, native to Europe and Southwestern Asia. The plant probably originated in Persia and was originally cultivated for its leaves and seeds. The most commonly eaten part of the plant is the taproot, although the stems and leaves are also eaten. The domestic carrot has been selectively bred for its greatly enlarged, more palatable, less woody-textured taproot.
Carrots are widely used in many cuisines, especially in the preparation of salads, and carrot salads are a tradition in many regional cuisines.

    Recipe Jerusalem artichoke, carrot & walnut soup

    It doesn’t get much simpler; three ingredients, no fine chopping, no frying. Jerusalem artichokes are a delicate affair. Their appearance belies them. These knobbly rustic looking roots have a subtle earthy flavour, not unlike the completely unrelated globe artichoke. You can peel them if you...

    Recipe Carrot, Coriander and Chickpea Burgers

    You could use the aquafaba instead of the egg in this recipe, but I have not made it that way, so I can not suggest a quantity to use. Typically, though, 1tbsp of aquafaba is considered the equivalent of 1 egg when both are whipped/beaten. Most of the taste here comes from the rose harissa, so...
