 The carrot is a root vegetable that is typically orange in color; various other color cultivars exist, and all of them are domesticated forms of the wild carrot native to Europe and Southwestern Asia. The plant is believed to have originated in Persia and been originally cultivated for its leaves and seeds. While the most commonly eaten part of the plant is the taproot, the stems and leaves are also eaten.
-The use of carrots to cure blindness originates from the [[real life]] rumor that the vitamin A in carrots helps improve your vision, as alluded to by the [[encyclopedia]] entry - while vitamin A and other nutrients from carrots do indeed play some role in eye health, the benefits were exaggerated to the point of propaganda being spread about "night vision" during the Second World War.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20080517093019/http://dietary-supplements.info.nih.gov/factsheets/vitamina.asp Dietary Supplement Fact Sheet: Vitamin A and Carotenoids]</ref>
