The history of baby carrots...

We stopped buying baby carrots a while back. It was a taste issue for us. My mom also told me they wash the baby carrots in bleach. Blech. Don't know where she got her information, but I can see what she's saying. This story on the origins of baby carrots is definitely interesting.

It is true that baby carrots are treated with "acceptable amounts" of chlorine. I had read this a long time ago and decided to get our baby carrots from Costco, where you can get the large organic bag for pretty cheap. But after reading this article, I realized it's probably been fifteen years since I've tasted a REAL carrot and we just may try that route for a while!
