What it is

Yellow carrots are a variety of the common carrot (Daucus carota). They are root vegetables that grow underground and are typically harvested for their taproot, which is yellow in color, unlike the more common orange varieties. They can be eaten raw or cooked.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use yellow carrots primarily for their natural color and mild, sweet flavor. They are often found in frozen vegetable mixes, soups, stews, and sometimes as a natural coloring agent in snacks or baked goods.

Health notes

Yellow carrots are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are a source of beta-carotene, which the body can convert to vitamin A, and other antioxidants. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated carrots and their components, generally considering them safe for consumption. No significant health controversies are associated with the typical consumption of yellow carrots.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Carrots are not among the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
