Carrot
Carrots have been around for centuries and have been used in many different ways. The most popular way to eat carrots is to simply boil them and eat them as a side dish. However, there are many other ways to cook carrots that are just as delicious.
Carrots were first cultivated in Afghanistan and then spread to other parts of the world. The first recorded recipe for carrots was in the 10th century. This recipe called for the carrots to be boiled and then flavored with cumin.
In the 13th century, carrots began to be used in sweet dishes. The first recorded recipe for a carrot cake was in the 14th century. This cake was made with grated carrots, honey, and spices.
