On April 4, International Carrot Day pays a well-deserved tribute to… a healthy vegetable. It is rich in vitamins for maintaining good eyesight. We often add carrot to soups, cook them as a side dish, even make invariably tasty, healthy desserts.
The History
The holiday appeared in 2003; carrots were honored as an integral part of dietary salads. The main producer is California. The vegetable is harvested in late summer and fall. Carrots are inexpensive, and available in supermarkets.
Interesting facts
In high season, farmers try to deliver the product sooner: it takes a few hours from the moment carrots are harvested to its appearance in store. This guarantees the nutrient content.
- Carrots can be orange, purple, or white.
- Everyone cooks this traditional dish: Take a deep saucepan, and fry garlic, onion, and celery. Add carrots, pre-cut into round pieces. Pour in chicken or vegetable broth. The finished dish should be eaten in bed or in a snug armchair, covered with a blanket, watching a favorite TV series or movie. Wear bright socks!
- The holiday is celebrated in Europe and Japan.
It is time to eat carrot cake! Time for the brightest shades of orange!
