The Color of Carrots

Roots as a Metaphor for Human Life: Exploring the Color of Carrots and the Significance of Origins

Berlin in Winter. Low temperatures, cold wind, and a mood influenced by low levels of vitamin D3. My sister told me today that it was cold and windy in Italy. The temperature was 11°C (51.8°F). Here in Berlin today, it was 3 °C (37.4°F).

While having dinner tonight and thinking about summer and fresh vegetables, I recalled an article about the history of baby carrots that I had read in Eaten last summer. Eaten is a magazine dedicated to food. Its subtitle is Food History Magazine. The story of baby carrots, written by Jessica Kehinde Ngo, describes how they were born, or rather how they were created in the USA.
