About Carrot root
Carrot root is the edible taproot of the carrot plant, commonly eaten raw or cooked. It is typically orange, though carrots also occur in other colours; the root is firm and crisp when raw, becoming softer and sweeter when cooked.
Carrot roots are sold whole, with or without their leafy tops, and may be prepared by slicing, grating, roasting, boiling, or other cooking methods. The catalogue name does not specify variety, size, or whether the root is raw or cooked. It refers to the root rather than carrot leaves or processed products.
