Fun fact, baby carrots aren’t babies at all. They take any carrot that doesn’t fit their classic 🥕 shape and put it through a machine that cuts them to length and lathes them into the tiny rounded dowels we know and love. The inventor of the machine was inspired by his wife wishing she didn’t have to cut and peal carrots for recipes.

They’re not babies, they’re the dismembered bits of any healthy plant that dares not conform to the advertised, mass appeal standards of consumer products, mechanically processed and sold to us with a marketable name.
