An interesting question, Theron. I, for one, think the skin just a tad too
bitter to include in dishes, so always thoroughly peel them. I can
understand how some folks might appreciate this slightly bitter factor, but
I like my carrots as sweet as I can get 'em. As for the vits/nuts, I get
all I need from beer.
