What it is

Baby carrots are young carrots that are harvested earlier than mature carrots. They are typically smaller, sweeter, and more tender. They are often sold pre-peeled and ready to eat.

Why it's used

Baby carrots are commonly used as a snack, either on their own or with a dip. They are also added to lunchboxes, vegetable trays, and salads. Their small size and sweet flavor make them appealing to both children and adults.

Health notes

Baby carrots are a source of beta-carotene, fiber, and vitamin K. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) lists carrots as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). International bodies like the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have also evaluated carrots and their components. Consuming carrots as part of a balanced diet is associated with general health benefits.
