Default Carrot question.

Hey, good point!!

I'm in the upper Midwest, so they could be Canadian, or Cilantro type.

I'll be checking the packages.

Thanks, both of you----

This afternoon I bought a one pound bag of carrots to put in the evening

meal.
The carrots look fine, and there texture also appears to be fine.
As I was pealing and chopping, my daughter (4yo) wanted some. After I

gave it
to her she told me it was very YUCKY and spit it in the trash. Totally

not
like her at all! She loves carrots.
I tasted one, they almost taste soapy. Really disgusting!!! Lucky for

me
they
didn't get put into my pot roast tonight!
Anyone know how they can look so great and taste so bad? The taste is

all
through the carrot, it's not really like there was just some soap

residue
from
them being washed while they were processed.

Were they Canadian carrots? Store here sell both California and Canadian
carrots. Sometimes the California carrots are not available and I will buy

a
bag of Canadian. They look like carrots but always seem to have a

"woodier"
texture and a much different taste. I buy them thinking that the last time
was just a fluke and maybe the latest crop will be different. I just

bought
a small bag of Canadian a few weeks ago and that is the last time I will
ever buy them.
