Carrots



Baby carrots are in fact full-grown carrots, whittled down into earplug-shaped cylinders. They aren't sweeter, fresher, or younger than the bunches of carrots they're sold alongside. The packaging is convenient but I rarely manage to eat an entire lb of baby carrots before they get icky.

"One cup serving of carrots is about 2 medium carrots, 12 baby carrots or about two cupped handfuls of chopped carrots. Ideally, you should not consume more than 1 or 2 carrots in a day."
