What is the length of carrots?
Carrots vary in length depending on such conditions as: location, care, age, soil nutrients, amount of water/sunlight received and they very individually. The average carrot length is about 20cm (just under 8 inches).
Carrots were not invented. Somewhere back in pre-history people found that wild roots were good to eat. As people began to choose the best and biggest roots to propagate, the wild carrot was developed into the carrot we know today.
What part of the carrots is eaten?
Carrots are typically eaten for their edible root, which is the long, orange part that grows underground. Sometimes the leafy green tops of carrots are also consumed, but they are not as commonly eaten as the root.
Depends on the size of the carrot, one big carrot can weigh a pound or more, on the other hand lots of small carrots would be needed to make up a pound.
Carrots are not hybrids by nature; they are a naturally grown vegetable that has been cultivated over thousands of years through selective breeding to reach the varieties we see today. Hybrid varieties of carrots may exist, but the standard orange carrot is not considered a hybrid.
Why is a can of peas and carrots a mixture?
A can of peas and carrots is considered a mixture because it contains two or more distinct substances that are physically combined but not chemically bonded. The peas and carrots can be easily separated and retain their individual properties.
Yes, carrots do contain traces of iron along with other essential nutrients like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. While carrots are not a significant source of iron compared to other foods like red meat or spinach, they can still contribute to your overall iron intake as part of a balanced diet.
Yes, carrots grow underground. Carrots are root vegetables, which means that the edible part of the plant grows below the soil surface. The green tops that you see above ground are the carrot plant's leaves and do not form the part that is typically eaten.
Do carrots grow on trees or vines?
Neither, they grow under the ground, with just the leaves being above ground. Each carrot is a separate plant.
you can usually dig around the sides to get an idea about the diameter of the carrot. Otherwise, we have been pulling ours after about 2 months (check the "days to maturity" on your seed pack) and you are usually pretty good. They stay good if left in the ground so you can harvest a single planting for a few weeks.
No, carrots do not engage in photosynthesis. They are heterotrophic plants, meaning they obtain their energy and nutrients from the soil through their roots rather than through photosynthesis like autotrophic plants.
How do they make baby carrots?
Some types of carrot are naturally small-growing, and others are just harvested early.
-- While this may have been true some time ago, the truth is that now nearly 100% of baby carrots sold in stores are regular full grown carrots which have been cut down to a small and somewhat uniform size.
Most of the carrots used to make baby carrots are ones which would have only been sold for animal feed or simply thrown away due to small cosmetic defects. By taking these carrots and cutting them down the farmers lose less of their crop while providing a healthy snack to us overeating Americans.
A carrot is a root vegetable and is a solid whole. An example of an aggregate fruit would be a raspberry, blackberry, strawberry, and many of the plants we value because of their flowers.
- aggregate: formed by the combination of many separate units or items.
First answer: I dont know for sure but they prabaly do if you cut it in to small pieces.
More information: Yes, you can give your pet rabbit squash. However, squash is a treat food: one or two bites is enough.
The main parts of a rabbit's diet is hay, dark leafy greens, and pellets. Any other food (like vegetables or fruit) is fine as a treat, but if rabbits eat too many treats they can get sick.
It isn't usually necessary to cut up a rabbit's food into small pieces. They can do this themselves with their teeth! What's important is that you serve the right portion size. The exception is celery: if you give your bunny celery as a treat, make sure it is cut up into small pieces because the strings inside celery stalks can actually wrap around a rabbit's teeth and cause serious problems. That said, any treat should be just one or two small pieces anyway, so for that reason (the portion size) it does need to be cut up.
