Did you know that all carrots are not created equal? We learned this elementary lesson in my little kitchen about twelve years ago.
My son was only about two years old at the time, and I happened to buy a BIG twenty-five pound bag of juicing carrots at PCC. My favorite produce guy touted them as very very good. When I peeled one of those carrots and handed it to my son, his eyes kind of lit up. He immediately knew they were different and kept asking for more! That was all that I needed to become permanently committed to buying Nash's carrots.
Nash's Organic Produce farm is located in Washington's Dungeness Valley, and Nash has been farming for well over thirty years now. He's well known for being a pioneer in the industry. Nash's "famous carrots" are sweet, crunchy, and full of beta carotene. The Nantes variety from Europe, the carrots thrive in the alluvial soil of the region.
I find the carrots to be deliciously versatile...they worknicely as a lunch box addition and they cook into soft and sweet nuggets when included in comforting stews. They work great in carrot cake and are very much appreciated in my wholesome carrot and oatmeal cookies.
When I was at Seattle's University District Farmers' Market last weekend, I purchased a five-pound bag of the carrots. I wanted them on deck for the "back to school" week ahead. This morning, I peeled and sliced a few of those beautiful carrots and tucked them into a brown bag for lunch. I'm hopingthey help to sweeten the transition from the lazy days of summer to the jam-packed days offall!
