Icon3 veggie of the month:THE CARROT

Carrots, which originated thousands of years ago, were not always orange. Instead, they grew in hues of white, purple, red, yellow, black and green. Another difference was that people once found the green, feathery leaves of the carrot to be more useful than its edible root. These leaves were used as a decorative addition to hairstyles and hats.
Although you don't find people wearing carrot feathers in their hair as often as you once did, you'll still find the carrot is a popular vegetable. Its crisp, delicious taste is a perfect addition to any entrée, but the carrot also makes a perfect snack all on its own. The carrot's natural high potency in Vitamin A helps the body produce more skin and membranes, which are constantly being broken down and replaced. Maintaining healthy skin and mucous membranes is vital to keeping us healthy as they help ward off invading organisms.
