Baby Carrots

Baby Carrots (Daucus Sativus) when you hear the term “baby carrot,” the first thing you think of is likely the peeled and perfectly cut carrots popular in party platters and lunch boxes across the US. What you might not know, however, is that there’s another, less processed type of baby carrot too.

True baby carrots are simply carrots that are harvested before growing to full maturity. They’re about 3 to 4 inches long and, as you might imagine, they look like tiny versions of their fully-grown counterparts. The baby carrots that most people know, on the other hand, are made by cutting up and shaving down broken pieces of mature carrots.

Both types of baby carrots share similar nutrient profiles to mature carrots. They’re chock full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and more, making them an excellent addition to your diet.
