About Carrots
Carrots are edible roots commonly eaten raw or cooked. The familiar form is orange, firm and crisp when raw, with a mildly sweet, earthy flavour; other varieties can differ in colour, shape, sweetness, and texture.
They are sold whole, sometimes with leafy tops, and also as cut or prepared forms. Carrots can be grated, sliced, steamed, boiled, roasted, or used in blended preparations. This record identifies the general vegetable rather than a particular cultivar or processing state, so the form and cooking method should be specified when describing a particular sample.
