International Carrot Day is celebrated on April 4 of every year. International Carrot Day is celebrated by all carrot lovers to cherish their favorite vegetable. Carrot is a root vegetable, found mostly in orange color. It is believed to have originated from Persia and was initially cultivated for leaves and seeds. The taproot of the plant is considered to be edible, although the greens are sometimes eaten. Carrots contain alpha- and beta-carotene and also have the right amount of vitamin K and vitamin B6. Carrots help reduce weight, improve vision, prevent cancer, promote healthier skin, and a lot more. They are widely used in many cuisines, like salads, soups, halwa, cakes, pudding, and carrot salads are a tradition in many regional cuisines.
