A doctor will determine the underlying cause of dry mouth in the patient and then take steps to minimize the underlying cause, such as stopping a medication causing the dry mouth. For many individuals, however, little can be done to alter the underlying cause.
The carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus) is a root vegetable, usually orange in colour, though purple, red, white, and yellow varieties exist. It has a crisp texture when fresh. The most commonly eaten part of a carrot is a taproot, although the greens are sometimes eaten as well. It is a domesticated form of the wild carrot Daucus carota, native to Europe and southwestern Asia. The domestic carrot has been selectively bred for its greatly enlarged and more palatable, less woody-textured edible taproot.
1. Baby carrots aren't born that way. They are cut from a special type of carrot variety that grows slim and tender. 2. The carrot seeds are planted in tight clusters to encourage the carrot roots to grow into a slender shape. 3. Baby carrots prefer looser soil, which allows the roots to stretch long and straight as they grow.
