DID YOU KNOW? 🧐
Carrots are members of the Apiaceace family, which also includes celery, anise, dill and cilantro. They are biennial; carrots grow taproots the first year, then flower and set seed in their second year. I just learned this as I have a few carrot “volunteers” popping up in my garden plot! (source)
TODAY’S VIDEO 🎥
If you truly get in touch with a piece of carrot, you get in touch with the soil, the rain, the sunshine. You get in touch with Mother Earth and eating in such a way, you feel in touch with true life, your roots, and that is meditation. If we chew every morsel of our food in that way we become grateful and when you are grateful, you are happy.
