Bunched Carrots

“Bunched carrots” generally refer to carrots that are sold in bunches or tied together by their leafy green tops. These tops are often removed or trimmed before cooking or storage. Carrots are known for being rich in beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A. They also provide dietary fibre, vitamins, and minerals. The leafy tops of carrots are edible and nutritious as well, although they are often removed before preparing the carrots due to their slightly bitter taste.

In Italy, the main seasons for carrot cultivation and availability are typically during the cooler months of the year. Carrots are considered a cool-season crop, and their optimal growing conditions align with the milder temperatures of spring and autumn.
