Seasons/Availability
California grown baby yellow carrots are harvested year-round.
Current Facts
Baby carrots are actually carrot varieties that are harvested young because they are a "fast maturing" variety grown specifically for their immature sized root or their size may be a result of crop thinning. Baby carrots are considered to be superior in texture, taste, sweetness and appearance. These baby carrots should not be confused with cut baby carrots, as those are mature carrots cut several times and individually shaped to appear baby in size.
Description/Taste
Baby yellow carrots have a tender-firm butter yellow tapered taproot that comes to a pencil thin point. They are juicy and sweet with a characteristic snappy texture. Although harvested mainly for their roots, their greens are quite edible displaying grassy sweet flavors and aromatics.
Applications
Baby carrots are tender, sweeter and cook more quickly than mature carrots. This gives them a culinary advantage over larger varieties for multiple applications. They make incredible pickled carrots, are wonderful for brining and deep frying and they make great protein companions sliced lengthwise and pan-roasted.
Geography/History
Carrots ancestors are known to have origins in modern-day Afghanistan, which remains the center of diversity of the wild carrot. The yellow carrot is an Eastern cultivar, domesticated in Central Asia as early as the 9th century.
