Happy National Carrot Day!
February 3rd is National Carrot Day! This nutritious and delicious root vegetable certainly deserves the honor; however, it usually taken for granted, so I was pleasantly surprised to discover this celebration. Carrots originated in central Asia, around Afghanistan, and have spread throughout the world. They are rich in beta-carotene which metabolizes into Vitamin A, and essential nutrient. Take a little time today to appreciate this versatile veggie!

Oh no!!! I missed it!!! Thankfully I ate some carrot yesterday, but it wasn’t celebrated in the manner in which is deserved. Boo for me.
