<div>The '''carrot''' is a vegetable that grows as a [[conical]] root in the ground, from which grows a green, leafy stalk. Carrots should not be eaten when still green (unripe). Various [[alcohol]]ic beverages can also be made from carrots, but it isn't recommended.<br />

===The Medieval Carrot===<br />
In modern times, carrots are [[orange]], but during [[medieval]] times, was (I believe) known to most people in antiquity as a white vegetable (like a turnip, but tasting like a carrot) but also (less common?) red, reddish black, orange, yellow and various other shadings were mentioned, especially in the late medieval period. <br />
<br />
Various other medieval names exist for carrots, or that include carrots, eg<br />
[[skirret]] (water parsnip), [[pasternak]]es (carrots or parsnip).<br />
Carrots were eaten raw or cooked in medieval times. <br />
