From an agricultural point of view: the carrot is a very interesting crop. It can grow in difficult terrains such as sand, under rain and snow (it is thus very adequate for a country such as the NL, with lots of sandy soil and damp weather). It also has a power: it can aireate the soil. By growing its root, the carrot helps to give a good, healthy and breathing structure the soil (which allows micro organism to flourish and garanties healthy plantations).<br>

Secondly, the carrot is a strong root: it is quite resistant to chocs and cuts and can last for many days or even weeks in the pantry. Mainly for this reason, the carrot is today one of the cheapest vegetable available on the market. Being in season (almost) throughout the year and being very versatile (it can be roasted for example, or used in cakes) it makes it a great candidate for any dish, at any season.
