People make fun of me for preferring C above any other language, but I think I’m the one having the last laugh.

You should really try cobol, lisp, ada, or erlang. Dead languages are the best

Hey man, leave the carrot alone.

Why would you peel carrots? The peel has the healthy bits and it doesn’t bother any dish.

Edit: or you could half-peel it, in stripes. Mom did this with cucumbers and zucchini.

I like the flavor and texture of an unpeeled carrot.

…you understand carrots don’t have skin, right? You’re just removing the dirty part.

There’s this amazing invention; it’s called “wash your vegetables”.

I ended up at the practice after I first started cooking for myself and didn’t think to do this and wondered why the carrots were so unpleasant. The peel is just too… carrotty. It’s just super intense carrot taste to the point of unpleasantness, also even with a good wash it kind of tastes like dirt. I only really like it when it’s those little carrots sometimes referred to as ‘dutch carrots’ and they’re roasted so you get some blackened char on that skin.

Carrots often have dirt caked on the outside that’s hard to get off with just water, so peeling is a good way to help with that.

The peel has the healthy bits

Sort of, but not really. The nutrients of a carrot may be slightly more concentrated in the skin, but all layers of a carrot contain those nutrients. You’re not depriving yourself of an appreciable amount of nutrients by peeling a carrot.

Sure, preference. I do disagree with the second sentence though.
