    When I find big carrots they always end up woody and tough, definitely not as nice as smaller carrots. And you are telling me it’s a difference in type of carrots?

      Seems to be.

      Used to eat carrots out of my grandma’s farm when I was a wee lad. Have never found ones that taste the same.

      But there is now a Korean grocery store nearest to me and is been great to get different varietals and seeing what ingredients are like from other places just because they grow a different one.

      I’ve found the greenish part of the stem can go a bit further in some of the carrots which isn’t the most pleasant but it’s only been like one carrot that was like that, the rest were just a big ole tasty carrot. Surprisingly juicy compared to what I’m used to from the grocery stores I’ve gone to most of my life.
