World Carrot Day + Día Mundial de la Zanahoria [Eng+Spa]
It's Saturday and #life is calm. The weather has been cool, and it seems like my brother and I caught a cold or a virus of some kind. Anyway, let's hope this passes quickly, because it is an annoying discomfort. I have several tasks to attend to this coming week, so this weekend I would have liked to rest better. Anyway, I hope the situation eases soon.
In this daily post, I prefer to share about things that are a little more pleasant, such as the anniversary of the #History that I chose to comment on. It is a celebration of a #food theme, since it is a date created to praise an ancient vegetable that I really like. Today, February 2, is 'World Carrot Day'.

Estamos a sábado y la #vida está en calma. El clima ha sido fresco, y parece que mi hermano y yo agarramos un resfriado o un virus de algún tipo. En fin, esperemos que esto pase rápido, porque es un malestar molesto. Tengo varias tareas que atender esta semana que viene, así que en este fin de semana me habría gustado descansar mejor. En fin, deseo que la situación se alivie pronto.
Prefiero en este post diario compartir sobre cosas un poco más agradables, tales como la efeméride de la #Historia que escogí para comentar. Es una celebración de un tema de #comida, pues es una fecha creada para enaltecer un vegetal milenario que me gusta bastante. Hoy, 2 de febrero, es el ‘Día Mundial de la Zanahoria’.

The #carrot is a vegetable that has been present in human crops since prehistoric times. Archaeological evidence has been found that this food tuber was cultivated 3000 years ago in what is currently part of the territory of Afghanistan. From this location, after a couple of millennia, this food was marketed throughout various parts of Asia and reached Europe. I was surprised that the carrot trade was seriously established at the beginning of the first millennium of the common era. I expected that its diffusion by trade would have been in older times.
Something that caught my attention, when studying a little of the history of this very popular #vegetable, was the reference to the color of the carrot. I am currently used to seeing orange carrots, although I have seen carrots of other colors in some stores (yellow, purple, red, among others). Well, it turns out that actually the oldest carrot lineages were two colors: yellow on the inside, and purple (or purple) on the outside.
In the Middle Ages, it was used both in cooking and in pharmacology, after all, the old Greek precept that 'your food is your medicine' was quite applicable. Its use spread throughout Europe in the Middle Ages, with the change of era that the exploration trips of the 16th century implied, this plant reached other latitudes and became popular. Its characteristics of being easy to preserve, its relative ease of transport and handling, in addition to its nutritional value, made it a common ingredient in the provisions of caravans, ships and commercial routes.

La #zanahoria es un vegetal que ha estado presente en los cultivos humanos desde tiempos prehistóricos. Se han hallado evidencias arqueológicas de que este tubérculo alimenticio se cultivaba hace 3000 años en lo que actualmente es parte del territorio de Afganistán. A partir de esta localidad, luego de un par de milenios, se comercializó este alimento por diversas partes de Asia y llegó a Europa. Me sorprendí de que el comercio de la zanahoria se estableciera seriamente en los inicios del primer milenio de la era común. Yo esperaba que su difusión por comercio hubiera sido en tiempos más antiguos.
Algo que me llamó la atención, al estudiar un poco la historia de este #vegetal tan popular, fue lo referido al color de la zanahoria. Yo estoy acostumbrado en la actualidad a ver zanahorias de color naranja, aunque he visto en algunos comercios zanahorias de otros colores (amarillo, púrpura, rojo, entre otros). Bien, resulta que en realidad los linajes de zanahorias más antiguas eran de dos colores: Amarillo por dentro, y de color púrpura (o morado) por fuera.
En la edad media, se usaba tanto en la #cocina como en la farmacología, después de todo, se aplicaba bastante el viejo percepto griego de que hay que hacer que ‘tu comida sea tu medicina’. Su uso se extendió por Europa en el medioevo, con el cambio de era que implicaron los viajes de exploración del siglo XVI, esta planta llegó a otras latitudes y se popularizó. Sus características de ser de fácil conservación, su relativa facilidad de transporte y manipulación, además de su valor nutricional, le convirtieron en un ingrediente común en las provisiones de caravanas, embarcaciones y rutas comerciales.

Now that we reach this time, I can move on to comment on what is happening with the color of today's popular carrots. It seems that everything is due to an exacerbated patriotism of Dutch farmers, who during the 17th century repeatedly selected plant varieties, until they achieved specimens that had a strong orange color. This was a way of paying homage to the ruling house of Holland at the time, the Royal House of Orange. In case you don't notice, that means that the color that was sought to be obtained was precisely the color orange.
This is an interesting example of pressure and artificial selection, for the manipulation of living organisms and achieving characteristics, a form of human intervention that imitates Natural Selection, which is related to the appearance of new species and the development of evolution.
I found it fascinating. By the way, despite how popular the consumption of this vegetable is, its date of celebration is relatively recent. The anniversary began as a National Day proposal in the United States, in 2003, and spread to other countries. Well, I wouldn't have anything else left to add. I say goodbye, wishing you that you are well and that we can read again another time.

Ahora que llegamos a esta época, puedo pasar a comentar lo que sucede con el color de las zanahorias populares de la actualidad. Parece que todo se debe a un exacerbado patriotismo de agricultores holandeses, que durante el siglo XVII seleccionaron variedades vegetales reiteradamente, hasta lograr especímenes que tuvieran un fuerte color anaranjado. Esto era una manera de rendir homenaje a la casa gobernante de Holanda en ese momento, la casa real Orange. Por si no lo notas, eso lleva a que el color que se buscaba obtener era justamente el color anaranjado (Orange).
Este es un interesante ejemplo de presión y selección artificial, para la manipulación de organismos vivos y lograr fijar características, una forma de intervención humana que imita la Selección Natural, que se relaciona con la aparición de nuevas especies y el desarrollo de la evolución.
Yo lo encontré interesante. Por cierto, a pesar de lo popular que es el consumo de este vegetal, su fecha de celebración es relativamente reciente. La efeméride comenzó como una propuesta de Día Nacional en Estados Unidos, en 2003, y se fue propagando a otros países. Bien, ya no me quedaría nada más para agregar. Me despido, deseándote que tú estés bien y que nos podamos leer de nuevo en otra oportunidad.

Sí que fue una manera de honrar a una casa real, me impresiono cuando vi por primera vez todas las variedades de zanahorias.
Yo también me impresioné por la variedad de colores que pueden tener las zanahorias. Fue todo un descubrimiento, y me llamó la atención saber que las más antiguas, en su traza genética, son las que son púrpura por fuera y amarillas por dentro.

As usual, I had never heard of this day before your post...🤣 The variation in food plants, including carrots, has always deeply fascinated me, and I've seen and eaten quite a few different colors of carrots, but I'd never heard about that yellow-and-purple ancestral carrot. Very interesting, too, how the now-common orange carrot originated. I've seen many things come about because of something like that. Thanks much for sharing this unusual day, and I hope that you and your brother feel better! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Today, we are better. I was also surprised to discover about the oldest carrots, and I found it very interesting to know the history of how the orange carrot became popular :)
