So, hello. In this post I am going to be talking about the beautiful, delicious, delicacy known as carrots. Yes, carrots. Now, no wonder your parents always tell you to eat them because besides from strengthening your eyes, they give you cat like superpowers. They are also filled with beta carotene, Vitamin C, potassium, along with a but ton of Vitamin A. Also, fun fact, even just half a cup of cooked or raw carrots contains about 204% of your daily recommended value. I don’t know who’s eating a half cup of raw carrots but alright. Oh yeah, the best way to eat carrots is just put it in a pan with a bit of butter then add honey and sugar until the carrots are softened, trust me it may cause diabetes but trust me it’s worth it. (DISCLAIMER: I’m just joking STAY HEALTHY PLEASE)
Now, we believe that we began farming carrots around the 12th/13th century. Originating in modern day Afghanistan. Now isn’t that interesting? Also last fact but I bet you didn’t know that carrots were very popular back then, no like seriously, like carrots were commonly placed in tomb just chilling next to the dead Pharaohs. Carrots in coffins… hmmm…

“Birds and Blooms” “History 101” and of course “Mr. Google”
Making me want to eat more carrots, for sure!! Yes, who could stop at just half a cup?!
Are you accepting questions, Sophie?
There are bags of multi-colored carrots at Trader Joe’s— are they different than orange carrots?
Also, what are your thoughts on carrot cake?
From what Mr. Google could tell me the only difference is that, purple carrots are packed with anthocyanins, which may prevent heart disease. Other wise they’re very little difference and just the taste varies.
Also, the carrots in carrot cake would make it healthier in some ways, but the sugars of the cake counteract the healthy vitamins…soooo all in all sorry you can’t just eat carrots cake non stop and say “I’m eating healthy.” 🤷 the sad truths of life.

Re: Carrots & pharaohs
I think it is useless to be buried with carrots since dead people have no need for better eyesight. The pharaohs believed in an afterlife. They were wrong. You only have 1 life. So have fun. Sounds like you are. Even though you are now on the bottom of the world where everything is upside down and drawkcab. Love from Mort.
I full heartedly agree….✨❤️
