Carrots are a staple root vegetable, loved for their natural sweetness, crunchy texture, and vibrant orange color. Rich in beta-carotene, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, they are versatile in both raw and cooked preparations. Carrots can be enjoyed fresh as snacks, juiced, roasted, boiled, added to soups, stews, and stir-fries, or processed into purées and baby food. In Italy, carrots are cultivated year-round in regions such as Sicily, Lazio, Emilia-Romagna, and Veneto. Thanks to staggered harvests and controlled storage, carrots remain consistently available, ensuring reliable supply for bulk buyers.
