Carrot is a biennial plant which has a rosette of leaves with an umbel of white flowers. It is a domesticated form of wild carrot, native to Europe and southwestern Asia. This oil is extracted from the seeds of plants using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Extraction. This extraction process is done at below 35 degrees celsius and only 99.9% of food grade carbon dioxide is used as solvent, leaving no residual or chemical changes during production.
Carrots are thought to have originated in Afghanistan and western Asia. The use of carrots as a medicinal herb dates back as far as 702 B.C.
