We’ve got some multi-color carrots growing in the garden. Probably a dumb question, but this is the first time I’ve grown carrots. How do I know when they’re ready for eatin’?

Like a lot of different root vegetables carrots will "shoulder" (the top of the carrot will start poking out from the ground) when they start reaching towards maturity. This should be the first signla tht you're getting really close. Usually it's how I know which one to pick when.

did you know that baby carrots aren’t actually infant carrots ripped from their mother’s side and slaughtered? no, they are actually regular, adult carrots who are mercilessly and systematically lathed to perfection, for your consumption.

i hope you’re happy

Parsnips are carrots yea.
I mean they're carrot-like but basically same thing. They're tougher than carrots and have sort of a blander, yet more earthy flavor to them. Like if carrots, potatoes, and a black peppercorn had a 3 some and had a boring baby.

that sounds like a radish and radishes loving own. what a cool food. there's no way to cook them, theyre just best raw so nobody has to gently caress with it at all. i love buying them and just nabbing a few from the fridge every now and then, theyre so cheap too. what a good vegetable

Carrots are pretty good with salsa.
You can cut carrot sticks, or if you're fat and lazy like me just split them in half lengthways.

My wife also adds carrot slices to curry dishes. You will want to parboil them first but that's pretty easy to achieve with the microwave oven.

Yeah carrot and potato in curry sauce is great.

Baby carrots are cool because they're designed for more casually dipping into hummus or a feta dip or whatever and to throw in a school or work lunch. No one peels a carrot and then cuts it up for their work lunch except people who have way too much time on their hands which should probably be used more efficiently for jerking/jilling off.

I don't really peel mine but that's more a preference than anything. I do wash it well in the sink though.

My lady said she peeked in on the carrots while I was away buying manly things at the Home Depot and they weren’t ready yet. In other news our cherry tomatoes are finally fruiting and our big strawberry plant has like 30 berries almost ready for picking. I can’t wait for those tomaters. Nothing better than popping them right off the vine into your gob.

a weird thing I used to do when I was a kid was I'd take a raw carrot and just like eat the outer part of it? the more orangey part? leaving the lighter core behind to be eaten separately. The outer layer and the core separate pretty easily actually. Anyway, I know that's a super fuckin weirdo kid thing, but the orange part and whiter part taste different, the core was more peppery but also sweeter, so I'd save that for last. I haven't done that since I was like 10 or something I should go grab a carrot right now

this is the correct way to eat, just like individually eating the legs off animal crackers first before eating the rest
