Carrots fulfilled medicinal purposes for thousands of years, being used for maladies as diverse as indigestion & cancer. The 19th century seed specialist Louis de Vilmorin introduced the French varieties of carrot such as Nantes & Chantenay, which both derive their names from their places of origin.
