Today is National Carrot Cake Day!!

Today is National Carrot Cake day! So here are some mind “crunching” facts for you.

1.Carrots were first cultivated in north Africa & the Mediterranean. They originally were purple or grey in color. Introduced to Europe around 1000 years ago.

2.The weed/flower Queen Anne’s Lace is actually a wild carrot. Many say carrots were planted in colonial gardens; went to seed & soon spread across North America.

3.Jello in the 1930’s offered ‘carrot pie’ flavored gelatin.

And some daily motivation: “I never worry about diets. The only carrots that interest me are the number of carats in a diamond.”
