About Carrots, mature, raw
Carrots (Daucus carota) are crunchy root vegetables best known for their bright orange color, though heirloom purple, red, yellow, and white varieties exist too. The crisp taproot is the part most people eat, with a naturally sweet, earthy flavor that deepens and caramelizes when carrots are roasted or simmered. They are famously rich in beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A for healthy vision and skin, and they also supply fiber, potassium, and antioxidants for very few calories.
Carrots are a true kitchen workhorse, eaten raw as sticks or shredded into salads and slaws, grated into cakes and muffins, simmered into soups and stews, glazed as a side, or blended into fresh juice, and along with onion and celery they form the aromatic base of countless dishes. Choose firm, smooth carrots with deep color, and if the leafy tops are attached, remove them before storing. Kept in the refrigerator crisper, ideally in a bag, carrots stay fresh and crunchy for weeks.
