Carrot
The carrot (''Daucus carota'' subsp. ''sativus'') is a root vegetable, typically orange in color, though purple, black, red, white, and yellow cultivars exist, all of which are domesticated forms of the wild carrot, ''Daucus carota'', native to Europe and Southwestern Asia. The plant probably originated in Persia and was originally cultivated for its leaves and seeds. The most commonly eaten part of the plant is the taproot, although the stems and leaves are also eaten. The domestic carrot has been selectively bred for its enlarged, more palatable, less woody-textured taproot. The carrot is a biennial plant in the umbellifer family, Apiaceae. At first, it grows a rosette of leaves while building up the enlarged taproot. Fast-growing cultivars mature within three months (90 days) of sowing the seed, while slower-maturing cultivars need a month longer (120 days). The roots contain high quantities of alpha- and beta-carotene, and are a good source of vitamin A, vita ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

A red Burgundy wine is typically used, though many regions of France make variants using local wines, such as ''coq au vin jaune'' ( Jura), ''coq au riesling'' ( Alsace), ''coq au pourpre'' or ''coq au violet'' ( Beaujolais nouveau), and ''coq au Champagne''. History Various legends trace ''coq au vin'' to ancient Gaul and Julius Caesar, but the recipe was not documented until the early 20th century; it is generally accepted that it existed as a rustic dish long before that. Oxford Companion to Food, ''s.v.'' cock A somewhat similar recipe, ''poulet au vin blanc'', appeared in an 1864 cookbook. Simone Beck, Louisette Bertholle and Julia Child included ''coq au vin'' in their 1961 cookbook '' Mastering the Art of French Cooking'', and Child prepared it twice on the PBS cooking show '' The French Chef.''
