Where is the proof they are edible? I have met botanists and nutritionists who claim they are not. Many plant parts of vegetables are not edible, being slightly irritating to to the stomach or having low to moderate levels of toxins. Green potatoes are one example. Carrots are related to many poisonous species. They have been bred for their edible taproot, not their 'edible' greens. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.175.144.23 ( talk) 02:50, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
Carrots are orange and red as well as them being really tasty so you should buy them!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.98.53.215 ( talk) 20:19, 11 January 2012 (UTC) Is it worth talking to "carrots vs sticks" in this article?

Would it be relevant to include a section in this article discussing the widespread use of carrots as sexual stimuli? In recent years there has been a growing community of vegetable fetishists. Suggestions? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.213.213.67 ( talk) 15:32, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Carrot can be used in cosmetics to make facial masks at home. In order to use carrot in cosmetics, you should either juice or grate it. You can use carrot to make natural facial masks for nearly any face type. Mix grated carrot with egg white and a teaspoon of potato starch to get facial mask for normal skin. Carrot juice together with sour cream makes hydrating facial mask for dry and normal skin. Refreshing facial mask for all skin types is made by mixing grated carrot, potato starch and egg yellow. In order to reduce tiny wrinkles on your face and improve the color of your face, mix grated carrot with a teaspoon of honey.

I would like to link this article to an article on the same topic in the slovenian language (called "slovenščina" - the language, that is. The article i would like to link "Carrot" to is called "Korenje").

In the "Production trends" section, the global and regional production quantities of carrots are listed as being billions of tonnes per year. Since this works out at several tonnes per person I checked the cited source which seems to indicate it is actually millions of tonnes, and the listed values are out by a factor of a thousand. Maybe a European editor is using the comma as a decimal point or something...
Cheers.

It says "33,582 millions of tonnes of carrots" in the article. Unless I'm reading that wrongly, that implies 33,582,000,000 or 33.582 billion tonnes where the correct number is 33,582,000 or 33.582 million tonnes. — Preceding

== Black carrot
(I was personally unaware of it before today.)
It is used in this Turkish dish:
şalgam.
And "black carrot juice concentrate" is an ingredient in Panda brand Raspberry Liquorice from Finland.

The section on the University of Wisconsin patenting a breed of carrot comes with a patent number. Any reason why we can't just drop a link in to the USPTO's patent DB entry, [1], and clear all the citation-needed labels from the same paragraph? That patent itself seems to link in some other relevant research publications, if that's what you need. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 175.39.39.149 ( talk) 08:28, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
Just saw that "correction" for "umbellifer" in a recent edit and I'm pretty sure it's wrong. I've never seen that word hyphenated, let alone in such an unintuitive way. So I think it should be reverted to the non-hyphenated version. 69.111.79.119 ( talk) 21:57, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

When Russia had a nuclear tragedy, they planted carrots to help suck up the contamination....vegetables that grow below the surface, such as carrots, but also things like radishes, potatoes, beets, etc., can take up some lead from the soil, and stuff that grows above ground, like tomatoes, do not.

Dear Sir / Madam At the end of the History section, you might want to add the following: "In Flanders - the Dutch-speaking half of Belgium, the carrot is sometimes referred to as 'Grondworst' (Lit. 'Earth-sausage')." The source, however, remains unclear. This addition is from my own experience as a native Dutch speaker from Belgium. Thank you for your time,

OK, so we're back to "carrot greens contain" the compounds, which is all we can actually source at this point. We can't insert our own judgment regarding "trace amounts" or the implications thereof, as that is obviously original research. Federales ( talk) 00:15, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
