Fascinating, how do they taste?

[–] thrawn21@beehaw.org 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They vary in sweetness, but generally taste more intense than the ones you'd get at the store. A lot of the common varieties used for baby carrots are bred with a focus on sweetness, and these are more carrot-y in a way. It would be fun if the tasted as different as they look, but nope, all carrot.

That's actually kind of what I'd been hoping for! Very cool. Thanks for sharing!
