It is thought that Western carrots may have originated later in Asia Minor, around Turkey and could have formed from a mutant which removed the anthocyanin (purple colour). Carotene carrots are relatively recent, from the 16th and 17th centuries. Orange carrots were probably first cultivated in the Netherlands.
