Zanahoria, or carrot, is a versatile root vegetable enjoyed worldwide for its sweet, earthy flavor and vibrant orange color, though it can also be found in purple, yellow, and white varieties. Originating from Central Asia, it is a staple in countless cuisines, from soups and salads to roasted dishes and even desserts like carrot cake. Rich in beta-carotene, a potent antioxidant that the body converts to vitamin A, zanahorias are known to support eye health, immune function, and skin wellness. They also contain fiber, vitamin K, potassium, and small amounts of vitamin C. Low in calories and naturally fat-free, carrots are a healthful addition to most diets, though excessive consumption may lead to a harmless condition called carotenemia, where the skin develops a slight orange tint. Eaten raw, cooked, or juiced, zanahorias are a nutritious and delicious choice for meals and snacks.
