Carrots

The versatile carrot is a year-round kitchen staple with French, baby, round, and even yellow varieties sparking our interest. Their natural sweetness flavors soups and stocks; they are delicious raw and crunchy for snacking or in salads, or lightly cooked or roasted. Carrots are particularly intriguing when combined with more robust flavors; they add color and texture to any dish and are an especially tasty complement to meats and other root vegetable dishes.
