Zanahorias

Did you know that baby carrots are native to the Americas? Europeans aren't aware of their existance. I guess I don't know about Asians or Africans, although I'm pretty sure the Africans are swimming in a luxurious pool of "baby foods", just a hypothesis.

Also, I have been reading different peoples blogs and in the past week, I have come across 3 different bloggers discovery of the fact that baby carrots aren't small carrots, they are big carrots cut into smaller pieces.

Oh, did you not know either? Well, blogs are revolutionizing the way people think about small root vegetables. We are so fortunate.

Well did you know that baby corn isn't actually tiny corn - it's real corn shrinked down like in Honey I Shrunk the Kids. Cool.

most baby carrots are "made" from larger ones. Carrots are not native to America, and Europeans do have them, as well as in Australia.

World Carrot Museum has more info.
