Diced Carrots
 
Our Diced Carrots are chopped and dehydrated to make adding their subtly sweet, earthy fresh flavor convenient and consistent.
Orange to deep red
Variously sized dice
Firm, smooth texture
 
Basic Prep
To rehydrate, combine 1 part Diced Carrot with 4 parts water in a saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 10 to 15 minutes or longer, until desired tenderness is reached. Drain before using. If using directly in a cooked dish without rehydrating first, be sure to add additional liquid to allow for absorption.

Toss into vegetable fried rice
Use in baking for carrot breads, muffins or cakes
Blend into pasta sauce for depth and slight sweetness
 
Description
One of the most popular root vegetables, the carrot is a member of the Umbelliferae family of plants, but also commonly considered part of the Apiaceae family. Sharing some botanical traits with parsley, celery, fennel, caraway and dill, this taproot grows as small as two inches to as long as three feet, topped with feathery green leaves that closely resemble anise.
Carrots are known for their rich supply of carotenoids, a rich group of phytonutrient antioxidants that are beneficial to the cardiovascular system and cell renewal process.
While popular opinion suggests carrots to be proven to aid in eye health, there are few studies to support this claim.
There has been significant research in the area of colon cancer, showing a positive link between carrot juice and colon cell health.
