The Netherlands has an impressive array of fresh fruits and vegetables. Carrots are available year round and can be classified as summer vegetables and winter vegetables.
The carrot came to Holland in the early 1700's from Iran. The Dutch cross-polinated various carrots until its current bright orange color was obtained: it represented the royal house of Orange. From there, it was spread throughout the rest of Europe.
The winter carrot is otherwise known as "winterpeen". It is a larger, coarser carrot that collects sugars after the first frost and is therefore sweeter, but also more fibrous.
A traditional winter dish with carrots is called "hutspot": mashed potatoes with carrots and onions. The link below has a recipe, a little bit more on the history of this dish and pictures.
