Baby carrots are the snack of choice for health-addicts. They're small, compact to fit in a lunch box, tasty, and let's be real, they're probably the cutest-looking fveg on the market. 

But something you may have not known is that they aren't really baby carrots – they're disfigured ones.

Before the 1980's, whenever farmers produced weird-looking carrots that were too ugly to sell in stores, they were just thrown out. Until one farmer in California decided to cut them into two-inch pieces and sell them by the bag.

So, the idea took off and baby carrots have been the fastest growing part of the carrot-growing industry to date.

So, now they're the easy snack, that you don't even have to peel and also, it cuts down on farmers unnecessary waste – which is always good.
