The
carrot (
Daucus carota subsp.
sativus) is a
root vegetable, usually orange in colour, though purple, black, red, white, and yellow
cultivars exist.
[1]Carrots are a domesticated form of the
wild carrot,
Daucus carota, native to Europe and southwestern Asia. The plant probably originated in
Persiaand was originally cultivated for its leaves and seeds. The most commonly eaten part of the plant is the
taproot, although the stems and
leaves are eaten as well. The domestic carrot has been
selectively bred for its greatly enlarged, more palatable, less woody-textured taproot.
The carrot is a
biennial plant in the umbellifer family
Apiaceae. At first, it grows a
rosette of leaves while building up the enlarged taproot. Fast-growing cultivars mature within three months (90 days) of sowing the seed, while slower-maturing cultivars are harvested four months later (120 days). The roots contain high quantities of
alpha- and
beta-carotene, and are a good source of
vitamin K and
vitamin B6, but the belief that eating carrots improves
night vision is a myth put forward by the British in World War II to mislead the enemy about their military capabilities.

The
zucchini (
,
American English) or
courgette (
,
British English) is a
summer squash which can reach nearly 1 metre (100 cm; 39 in) in length, but is usually harvested when still immature at about 15 to 25 cm (6 to 10 in).
[1] A zucchini is a thin-skinned cultivar of what in Britain and Ireland is referred to as a
marrow.
[2][3] In South Africa, a zucchini is known as a baby marrow.
Along with certain other squashes and
pumpkins, the zucchini belongs to the species
Cucurbita pepo. It can be dark or light green. A related hybrid, the golden zucchini, is a deep yellow or orange color.
[4]
In a culinary context, the zucchini is treated as a
vegetable; it is usually cooked and presented as a savory dish or accompaniment. Botanically, zucchinis are
fruits, a type of
botanical berry called a "pepo", being the swollen
ovary of the
zucchini flower.
The zucchini, like all
squash, has its ancestry in the
Americas. However, the varieties of squash typically called "zucchini" were developed in northern Italy in the second half of the
19th century, many generations after the introduction of
cucurbits from the Americas in the early 16th century.
