Where do baby carrots come from?

Answer 1

Baby carrots are cut from bigger carrots. A special variety of carrot called “caropak carrots” are grown for mini-peeled carrots. Caropak carrots are grown close together, which results in thinner, more tender carrots. After harvesting, the carrots are washed in chlorinated water, just like our drinking water, and cleaned to remove dirt and mud. They are then sorted to separate out those that are too large or too small. The carrots selected to become mini-peeled are then cut into 2" lengths and the skin is peeled. A final polishing process rounds their corners. Then they are packaged in 1 ounce, 1/2 pound, 1 pound or 5 pound bags.
