Interesting facts
Orange carrots are the result of crossbreeding white carrots with yellow ones. Carrots originated in present day Iran and, in the 17th century, were brought to the Netherlands by VOC traders. Here they were crossbred until their colour was orange, matching the official colour of the House of Orange. The joke that rabbits do not need glasses because they eat their fair share of carrots is actually a proven fact. Carrots are high in vitamin A, a nutrient essential for good vision. It prevents night blindness by helping the eye to adapt between bright light and darkness. One of the causes of night blindness is vitamin A deficiency.
