why are they preferred over the big bag of "normal" carrots at costco?
- chihuahua 5y agoBecause I can eat them straight out of the bag without any need to rinse, peel, or cut them. They are ready to eat, in perfectly sized bites.
- not2b 5y agoAs the article points out, at least on the inventor's farm 70% of carrots come out too deformed or misshapen to sell that way, so before this guy came along they were tossed. So these days the "abnormal" (but perfectly fine) carrots are cut into small pieces and sold as "baby carrots".
- david_draco 5y agoIt wasn't clear to me from the article whether that is still the case, or whether it has now transformed into a segment based on straight carrots. Would be interesting to know how the volume of discarded carrots has developed over the years.
