Think of carrots and you think orange – bright lively, fun orange, in fact, and all its psychological connotations. In fact, Carotene is responsible for the most popular type of carrot’s colour.

Carrot Facts

However, carrots can come in a range of colours, including purple, black, red, white, and yellow. Our common kitchen are actually a domesticated form of the wild carrot – the Daucus carota, which is originally native to Europe and southwestern Asia. The domestic carrot has been selectively bred for its larger, better-tasting taproot, which is the part of the carrot which is most commonly eaten, although the leafy green part can also be consumed.

According to statistics gathered by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, around half the world production of carrots hails from China.

YEEES! You guessed it! My memory is coming back!

Thanks to you, I remember now! It all started right here, in our Organic Farm. Before it was a hotel, this was a big dream and an experiment. People from all over the world came as volunteers to help us. Together, we learned how to farm the land, care for the plants, and live in harmony with nature. It was the beginning of all the magic!

Ommm… Phew, I almost fell asleep remembering!

The yoga pavilion is one of my favorite places to find peace. It’s pure magic! But to find calm, we first had to work hard and get our hands dirty. Yoga was a later discovery on our journey.

You were close! The energy here is strong, but it’s not the beginning. Go back and try again!

SPLASH! I almost drowned in memories!

Hahaha! I love the pool, it’s super fun and refreshing, but my story didn’t start with a splash. That came much later, when we needed to relax from all the work!

Good choice, but not the right one! Go back and try another option. Don’t give up, explorer!
