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 & Video Carrot salad with garlic and walnuts

    Recently I discovered a new salad packed with vitamins. While I appreciate its nutritional value, I'm not a fan of the walnuts personally. They take too long to chew, and I'm not fond of them. Any suggestions on what I could substitute for the walnuts, or perhaps a different type of nut...

    Recipe Spoke Bowl

    Poke bowls are similar to deconstructed sushi, but there seems to be more flexibility with the ingredients, since you don't have to roll them up like sushi.
