Sounds like you got a deal. Geometrically speaking, you got a way higher ratio of carrot to carrot skin.

[–] Gnugit@aussie.zone 66 points 2 days ago (11 children)

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.

[–] balsoft@lemmy.ml 28 points 2 days ago (10 children)

I think it depends on the carrot. Some of them are impossible to wash well.

[–] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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)

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 day ago (3 children)

It's not about sterility. Dirt/sand in your mouth is a very unpleasant experience.

That’s just like… your opinion man

[–] StaticFalconar@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The rough side of the sponge should be able to get that no problem. Still no need to peel.

Unless it's for salad, I just run them under some water. Same for potatoes.

Time is too short for peeling vegetables.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Potato skins are where the nutrients are at. Also lots of flavor.

Idk if I'd say the same about carrots

[–] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

I bet the bagger had a good laugh while bagging that carrot up.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

I would've tossed in one baby carrot, to make sure it ripped 2.5 on the scale.

[–] rosco385@lemmy.wtf 28 points 2 days ago

It's like a baby's arm holding an apple.

Wish my boyfriend was 2.5 lbs

[–] LORDSMEGMA@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Your boyfriend is now 10 inches tall

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

10 inches tall, 2.5lbs, all cock

[–] 1985MustangCobra@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

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.

That carrot might be going places......that many wishes they could.

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 32 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Thumbnail definitely had me expecting something else.

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 22 points 2 days ago

For some, it's exactly that.

[–] Nikls94@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago
[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 6 points 1 day ago

The possibilities are endless!

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 20 points 2 days ago

If that's the size of the carrot, I'd hate to see the stick.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 26 points 2 days ago (4 children)

That’s an ass carrot if I’ve ever seen one.

[–] Hazmatastic@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Something something flared base

Average Japanese carrot. And no, that's not a joke. They've got the best carrots.
