Notwithstanding the baby carrots example, most ugly produced is still used and sold. It’s made into soups, salsas, juices, etc.
I’ve read that one reason we get so many e-coli infections from lettuce is that there is no secondary market (no lettuce juice) so the farmers drive it to the livestock farms and track back germs to the lettuce farm on their wheels.

- defnotashton2 6y agoLol you don't have baby carrots, they are my fav, ready to just eat like chips. They just started selling carrot chips :O
- tallanvor 6y agoThey are certainly not limited to America. You can buy them in many countries - they're common in the stores here in Norway, for example.
- OJFord 6y agoThe 'cut' type? I've never heard of them in the UK - chantenay or other small but whole carrots sure, but not 'regularly' sized carrots trimmed down to a smaller 'carrot shape'.
