Sounds like you got a deal. Geometrically speaking, you got a way higher ratio of carrot to carrot skin.
Chef here. Don’t bother peeling carrots unless you are making salad. You are just wasting your carrot.
And use the skins in stocks, soups and sauces.
I think it depends on the carrot. Some of them are impossible to wash well.
You don’t need to make it sterile, unless you plan to use the carrot as wound dressing.
Which is probably not advisable anyway.Maybe for a salad, i clean a bit more thoroughly. Humans are not that fragile. (unless you specifically are, in which case, do be careful)
It’s not about sterility. Dirt/sand in your mouth is a very unpleasant experience.
That’s just like… your opinion man
Anakin?
The rough side of the sponge should be able to get that no problem. Still no need to peel.
I don’t know how a sponge is supposed to do anything when sometimes even the peeler can’t do the job. I have to get into the nooks with a knife.
Get a stiff bristled scrub brush and only use it for vegies. You can scrub all the dirt off super easy and if you really scrub you basically peel them anyways with the brush.
Yep. I basically never peel carrots when cooking for myself unless they’re past their best
Unless it’s for salad, I just run them under some water. Same for potatoes.
Time is too short for peeling vegetables.
Potato skins are where the nutrients are at. Also lots of flavor.
Idk if I’d say the same about carrots
In root vegetables, 80% of the vitamins are in the skin, and the flesh is nearly pure carbs. You’re throwing away most of the good stuff.
While i think peeling is wasteful, this is not true: https://www.nutritionletter.tufts.edu/general-nutrition/does-peeling-carrots-remove-nutrients/
80% of the vitamins are not in the skin. There are exceptions where the skin of some fruits and vegetables are higher in a particular vitamin(s), like for instance potato skins are highest in iron or something like that, but it is untrue that the majority of nutrition is in the skins of these foods and discarding or peeling them removes “80%” of the nutritional value of the food.
I don’t want to grind earth, sand and/or dung on my teeth though.
That’s why you wash and scrub it…
Wash and scrub it?? Yeah, right- sounds like Big Vitamin propaganda trying to make me need a B12 supplement
impossible.
I love chewing on sand. It’s my favorite. Maybe I should just go stick my face in the lawn and start monching.
Rinse your carrot before eating it you acorn
Man likes to eat sand, what is wrong with that? He isn’t telling YOU how to live your life!
saves work and toothpaste.
I like to scrub mine with a kitchen towel or mild plastic scouring pad in warm water. I also do the same with any other palatable skinned root veg.
I love this comment
YOU ARE NOT POEM FOR YOUR SPROG
I miss that guy
Tok to your doktor to day
It was a joke, and I’ll never eat that chef’s sand carrots.
Great, now I have to buy carrot skin separately.
It didn’t look like jews or americans got to that carrot… it should have plenty of skin!
explanation, you fools
male genital mutilation.
Don’t you mean lower?
By “ratio of carrot to carrot skin” I mean “volume of carrot / volume of carrot skin”. Volume of carrot is ~ length³, while volume of carrot skin is approximately ~ length², assuming a similar shape of carrot, because the skin is a constant thickness (determined by your vegetable peeler). This basically means the bigger the carrot the less money you waste on carrot skin.
The volume is length^3? Is the carrot a 10"x10"x10" cube?
Understandable, have a nice day.
I will point out that saying "approximately ~length^2" seems redundant, but that’s neither here nor there.
The approximation is because it’s technically not exactly proportional due to curvature.
yeah sorry I misread your original comment
Depends where the missing comma was ment to be.
higher ratio of carrot, to carrot skin
higher ratio of: carrot to carrot skin
I don’t think there’s a comma needed there. And in any case, both of those mean the same thing to me. Do you think they can be interpreted differently?
- Higher carrot count, in relation to peel
- Higher difference between carrot and peel
It’s like a baby’s arm holding an apple.

If that’s the size of the carrot, I’d hate to see the stick.
Robin no!
That carrot might be going places…that many wishes they could.
Wish my boyfriend was 2.5 lbs
Your boyfriend is now 10 inches tall
10 inches tall, 2.5lbs, all cock
thank you for making us small “weight” fellows feel insecure.
I have a female friend who is of the opinion that dick size doesn’t matter because only the first few inches of the vaginal canal has erotic nerve endings. I’ve told her that dick size is like breast size: some people care more about it than others and it is a factor. She continues to deny it matters at all.
I’m a guy of average size. I don’t have any insecurities about my junk. But I have enough experience and watched enough (realistic) porn that I know it matters, it’s just not a game breaker like some insecure men fear it is. That being said, size queens are a thing too.
I have an ex who had her most sensitive spot about an inch in at the top. To her, it literally did not matter as long as one hit that spot.
Yeah, it was a dumb joke because the carrot is jumbo. Dick size doesn’t matter. Even small dicks are fine. What actually matters is how frequently a guy goes down on a woman.
Well yeah, they’re made to order. Probably forgot to enter a value in the quantity field and the system just defaulted to one, so instead of “2.5lbs, 10 carrots” ya got “2.5lbs, 1 carrot”. You know how much resources if takes to grow a 2.5lb carrot? It’s not a small amount. Wasteful, this is.
The possibilities are endless!
CARROT
You’re going to need an axe to cut that one
Communist carrot
I bet the bagger had a good laugh while bagging that carrot up.
I would’ve tossed in one baby carrot, to make sure it ripped 2.5 on the scale.
you can’t always get what you want…
but if you try, sometimes, you might find, you get what you need
As a child my mother would sing this to me whenever I wanted something at the store.
Taking the approach to carrots might explain your username.
