the power of carrots
do you think carrots are only those crunchy orange sticks on a snack tray or the wilted orange circles in a stew? think again! the humble carrot has many benefits to humans and can also be full of surprises.
a long, long history
there is no way of knowing exactly when or how humans began growing carrots but people have been eating the vegetable for over 1,000 years. at first, the plants grew wild, and, while ancient greeks and romans wrote about gathering them for medicine, they were not considered food. scientists think that people first grew carrots as a food crop sometime before the 900s in the iranian plateau.
from there, traders carried carrots along the ancient silk road that extended to syria and across north africa in the 1000s.
read the passage from \the power of carrots\.
drilling holes lengthwise through carrots of different sizes creates wind instruments, such as flutes, recorders, rudimentary clarinets, and pipes. the pipes are easy to make because they use several carrots fastened together, but each carrot needs only one hole and produces a single note. for instruments that play more than one note, it is necessary to cut holes from the side of the carrot into the drilled part. covering and uncovering these holes with your fingers causes the sound to vary in pitch.
