A carrot is a crunchy, orange vegetable that grows underground. It looks like a long, pointy stick. Carrots are very good for you!
They help you see better because they have something called Vitamin A in them. Carrots can be eaten raw, which means they are not cooked. You can dip them in hummus or eat them with a little bit of ranch dressing! Yum!
Some people like to cook carrots in soups or make them very soft. Carrots can be round and small, which are called baby carrots, or they can be long and big. Remember, they are a healthy snack that many kids love!
