About baby carrots

Baby carrots are carrots that farmers harvest before the roots fully mature. People also associate the name with baby-cut carrots. These are small carrot pieces from full-grown carrots. A baby carrot measures about 2 to 4 inches in length and weighs about 10 to 15 grams. 

Baby carrots undergo shaping, which causes them to lose some nutrients. However, they are still rich in vitamin A. A medium baby carrot provides about 30% of the daily amount of vitamin A nutritionists recommend.

Today baby carrots are produced on a much larger scale. Farmers harvest them from the fields and load them into trucks which take them to a facility that processes them into baby carrots. At the facility, baby carrots undergo washing, sorting by size, cutting, peeling, and polishing into 2-inch pieces. It takes less than 48 hours from harvesting the full-sized carrots to the packaging of baby carrots.
