Robin no!
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)
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.
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
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?
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
If that’s the size of the carrot, I’d hate to see the stick.
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.
They did you a favor. The advantage is, you only have to peel One Carrot. And it’s not that hard to cut it up, you could even make carrot sticks and dice half of them for stew, or cut half and shred half for carrot salad. The sticks keep nicely in the fridge with a little cold water.
You peel carrots? Why‽
Because the peel tastes nasty?
Same reason some people peel potatoes. I don’t bother myself, I just wash them (unless I’m eating the carrot fresh without cooking)
Because they’ve been in the ground, and the ground is mostly poop
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.
I mean, that’s reason to wash it, but I don’t think there’s a medical argument for peeling. Could be wrong though, but I’ve never heard of this being a problem ever.
Oh boy do I have bad news for you.
Basically everything in your environment is covered in human poop.
If you bring a carrot into your home it has way less poop on it than your toothbrush.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think I’ll be sick if I eat the outer layer, I’m just grossed out by the thought.
Medical argument against it actually, as you remove most of the healthy stuff.
honestly i don’t mind a bit of dirt with a touch of poop. if i myself pluck a carrot out of the ground - i’ll just wash it a bit and proceed to chomp
what i do mind is the number of hands and various containers the carrot goes through before it gets bought by me at a store. theoretically, nobody has to touch a carrot for it to appear in the store (harvested mechanically, transported in large quantities, thrown out of a box onto the store display), sure, but i’m not counting on that, nor am i counting on the fact they wash their hands properly
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.
That’s an ass carrot if I’ve ever seen one.
Something something flared base
to fill out the something somethings for the unaware audience -
if you get something into your bum fully, it’s very hard to get out on your own without hurting yourself, and your ass can suck that thing in in a second - so unless you’re an avid fan of going to a doctor to get something out of your butt, the object you’re penetrating yourself with has to have a flared base - that is a base at the bottom of the object much wider than what your ass can suck in, which will stop the thing from sliding in
that is a base at the bottom of the object much wider than what your ass can suck in
And don’t believe your hiney can’t suck. Every ER will tell you some rather large objects that have made it in. Make that base 33% wider than the widest portion of the object, or 7.62cm diameter, whichever is greater.
Thumbnail definitely had me expecting something else.
For some, it’s exactly that.
Average Japanese carrot. And no, that’s not a joke. They’ve got the best carrots.
Yeah, Japan has thick carrots and thin eggplants (which seem to have fewer seeds as well)
Communist carrot
You’re going to need an axe to cut that one
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.
