想不到吧?胡萝卜本来不是橙色的!

胡萝卜本来的颜色有很多,黑的、紫的都有,但就是没有橙色。

橙色的是后来人为育种出来献给荷兰王室的。

为什么?因为荷兰的王室姓 Orange

自那以后橙色的胡萝卜才成了主流。

Did you know that carrots didn’t use to be orange? They were black, yellow, red, purple or white. An orange variant was made in honor of the House of Orange, that led the revolt against the Spanish and later became the Dutch Royal Family.
