Yellow Carrot

Same as Purple Carrot, Yellow Carrot is originally from Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan dating back around 1.000 AD. It started to be grown in the Eastern Mediterranean Countries only in the 13th Century.

It was the influence of patriotic Dutch growers, during the sixteenth Century, to turn the carrot orange to honour their national colours: orange carrots quickly dominated the world and became the most popular colour in modern agri-business.

Yellow carrots are popular for their benefits for human health.

They contain xanthophyll, pigments similar to beta carotene, and lutein that is an hydroxy-carotenoid constituting the macular pigment of the human retina both important for eyes health and cancer prevention. Lutein and xanthophylls also help protecting against cataracts and hardening of the arteries.

The more lutein we intake from foods the less it is the risk of macular degeneration.Lutein from yellow carrots significantly increases lutein concentration more than other sources.(American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Vol. 80, No. 1, 131-136, July 2004).

Romans used seeds and tops as protection against some types of poisons and also as aphrodisiac food.

During the 14th Century yellow carrots were cultivated in southern Europe and sold only in specialty food shops in India.

Fresh and crunchy, slightly sweeter compared to commonly orange carrots, the yellow is delicious when you eat it raw and their bright colour is maintained after cooking: they add colours to salads.
