Description

Fresh young baby carrots are small carrots harvested before reaching their adult size, making them especially tender, sweet, and crunchy. Their delicate texture and mild flavor make them an ideal ingredient for salads, appetizers, stir-fries, and side dishes, adding color and a natural touch of sweetness to any dish.

This type of carrot comes from selected crops that aim for early harvesting of the tuber, ensuring its freshness and quality. Their origin is mainly associated with agricultural areas with a temperate climate, where conditions allow for optimal growth and an intense flavor.

Regarding their properties, baby carrots are rich in beta-carotenes (provitamin A), natural antioxidants that promote eye and skin health. They also provide dietary fiber, B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, and minerals such as potassium and manganese, contributing to a balanced and healthy diet.

In the Hispanic American sphere, these carrots may also be known as mini carrots, tender carrots, or small carrots, terms that vary depending on the country but refer to the same fresh and youthful presentation of the tuber.
