Product Abstract: Carrot is a domesticated form of the wild carrot, Daucus carota, which is native to Europe and south-western Asia. It is a biennial plant which grows a rosette of leaves with an umbel of white flowers that produce the seeds. The name is derived from the Greek carotos, for 'healing'.
