why are some carrots bitter?

Answer 1

When mold attacks a carrot growing in a field, the carrot begins to produce isocoumarin. This antifungal agent will stop the spread of the mold, but will cause the carrot to become impalatable to humans. Thus, it is very important for farmers to keep molds and yeast out of their field during a wet spell. They must also handle the carrots carefully during shipment. Rough treatment and scarring also triggers the formation of isocoumarin and the carrots will be bitter.
