Carrots
Carrots are a versatile root vegetable known for their natural sweetness, crisp texture, and vibrant colors. While orange carrots are the most familiar variety, carrots are also available in purple, yellow, white, and red varieties, each offering slightly different flavors and appearances.
Carrots are a cool-season crop that grows well in the Northeast and can be harvested throughout much of the year. Young carrots are tender and sweet, while mature carrots develop deeper flavor and are excellent for cooking, roasting, and storage.
