Carrots Loose

Information

Carrots date back as far as the 10th Century and have been a staple in many countries for thousands of years although it is only since the 16th century that they have been orange.

Carrots are a good source of several vitamins and minerals, especially biotin, potassium, and vitamins A (from beta carotene), K1 (phylloquinone), and B6.

Carrots are available all year round; they are at their best in the winter months. Fresh-market carrot harvesting takes place during the months of October to January in Pukekohe and late January to October in main crop locations of Ohakune and South Island
