NOT ALL CARROTS ARE ORANGE

This is the VOA Special English Agriculture Report.We talked last week about growing beets.
Today we have advice about growing another root vegetable, carrots. Carrots are easy to
raise and easy to harvest. They taste good. And they contain a lot of carotene, which the
body makes into vitamin A.

When people think of carrots, they usually picture in their mind a vegetable that is long, thin
and orange. But carrots come in many different sizes and shapes.And not all carrots are
orange.For example, Paris Market carrots are about five centimetres around. Imperator
carrots are thin and about twenty-five centimetres long. And Belgian White carrots are, as
their name suggests, white.

For the best results, carrots should be grown in sandy soil that does not hold water for a long
time. The soil also should have no rocks.Weather, soil conditions and age will affect the way
carrots taste. Experts say warm days, cool nights and a medium soil temperature are the best
conditions for growing carrots that taste great.
