Detailed Information
While ‘Sugarsnax 54’ is a cultivar bred for specific qualities, the *species* *Daucus carota* (of which the cultivated carrot is a subspecies) originates from **Central Asia and the Middle East**. More specifically, the region now encompassing **Iran and Afghanistan** is considered the primary center of origin and domestication for carrots.
Therefore, the *ancestral* geographical location is Central Asia/Middle East, but the ‘Sugarsnax 54’ cultivar itself would have been developed in a country with advanced agricultural research. This would likely be in **North America or Europe**.
