Carrot is a root vegetable which is rich in Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Biotin, Vitamin B6, etc. That's why it is widely cultivated and consumed in many parts of the world.
Studies suggest that about 69% of Americans eat carrots and the per capita consumption of carrots was estimated around 8.4 pounds in 2022.
Temperature range of 15 to 18 degrees Celsius and light sandy loam soils with pH of 6 to 7 are considered good for cultivating carrots.
