Carrots

by Lakeside Marketing

Carrots are a root vegetable of the parsley family. Most often just the root part of a carrot is eaten, however the tops, which look like parsley, are edible as well. Carrots are amongst the most popular vegetable, adding flavor to soups, stews, sauces, salads, casseroles, and more!

The term bunched simply refers to the packaging style. In the field, the harvesting team bunches them and wraps a zip tie around the tops of the carrots and a rubber band around the root of the carrots to hold them together tightly.

Carrots are:
1.  Have their sweetest flavors when harvested about 3/4 inch wide at the top.
2.  A good source of antioxidants, beta-carotene, thiamin, niacin, vitamins B6, C, K, potassium, and dietary fiber.
3.  Can also be purple, black, red, white, or yellow called Rainbow Carrots.
