    I heard they weren't baby carrots. I guess that is why they are always pre-cleaned.

    Interesting. And just 'invented' in 1986. Seems they've been around forever. And saved the carrot industry. 70% of carrots sold are the 'baby' carrots.

    The carrots mentioned above are sold frozen in our stores but you can also buy fresh real baby carrots in packages.

    As a gardener who has on occasion grown carrots I knew when they first came out that they were not 'baby' carrots but I didn't know what they were because they were so uniform in size.

    This is what real baby carrots actually look like:
