Yellow Carrot

Description

Yellow carrots are varieties that are grown specifically to yield sweeter flavor at maturity while also retaining healthy texture; ie: the taproot is not woody or fiberous. … They have a firm and crunchy texture and an earthy sweet flavor with notes of celery and parsley.  In terms of taste, provided the carrots have been allowed to grow to full maturity, they “have been described as tasting earthy, with notes of celery and parsley” (via: Carrot Museum). Yellow carrots are often sweeter than orange carrots, especially when picked while still smaller and more tender. They’re rich in beta-carotene, a compound your body changes into vitamin A, which helps keep your eyes healthy. And beta-carotene helps protect your eyes from the sun and lowers your chances of cataracts and other eye problems. Yellow carrots have lutein, which is also good for your eyes.
