Carrots are native to Afghanistan. The Greeks and Romans both ate large quantities of carrots - the Greeks used them to make a love medicine, claiming they made men more ardent and women more yielding and the Roman emperor Caligula, who believed the rumour, forced the Roman Senate to eat them so he could see them "in rut like wild beasts."
They are a root vegetable. The smaller baby carrots are the sweetest and most juicy.
