Oh, baby: Carrots
Baby carrots are fast becoming one of my snacking standards. I've taken to carting a handful to work.
Many other veggies beg for delicate handling and packing. Or have pitifully short shelf-lives. Or just plain require too much fuss.
But baby carrots? They're crispy, sweet, convenient. Practically bombproof.

Give me a tomato and it will languish in my workplace fridge. With luck, half may get eaten; half or more will surely rot away. Same for zucchini.
These kinds of vegetables — which I love, don't get me wrong — are just tough for me to eat when they're in an unadorned state. And having to jazz up each and every bite gets tiresome.
But baby carrots I can gobble by the handful, just as they are, so they're gone long before they're at risk. Yup, my hat is off to whoever invented these treasures.
Hmm, that's a good question. Just who did invent baby carrots?
I'll do some research and get back to you. Tomorrow.
