Produce OASIS Tip of the Day
April 1 - Carrot Trivia:
Carrots belong to the parsley family. They originated in Afghanistan, cultivated originally for medicinal purposes
utilizing the seeds which are produced in the second year of this biennial plant. (Marketable roots grow in a single
season.) Their use spread westward, introduced into England from Holland in the 15th Century. At that point, carrots
were coveted for their tops, and no well-dressed English gentlewoman would be seen without lacy carrot leaves decorating her hair.
OASIS has much more information on carrots.
