Brastagi Carrots vs Our Regular Local Carrots

I know I promised you the other day that I would bring something more exciting for breakfast. While I don’t plan to break that promise, I also can’t think of any other easy yet healthy things to prepare... And that, my friend, is why I’m settling for another round of raw carrots, raw tomatoes, and some other sides this week. I need help.

But hey, in my defense, even if the breakfast formula is pretty much the same, I’m still being (sort of) interesting, you know? This week, I’m trying a different variety of carrot that the seller called Brastagi carrots. They are a lot bigger than our usual local carrots (and a lot more intimidating too). My mom decided to bring home the medium-sized ones for the same reason:

Based on my unprofessional observation, here are some notable differences between the two:

Brastagi carrots:

• Much sweeter
• I can almost taste no bitterness
• Crunchy but a bit hard to bite (I was a little worried about my central incisors, so on day two I cut them into large chunks)

Regular local carrots:

• The thin ones taste quite bitter
• The thicker ones taste quite sweet
• Easy to bite

If it were a competition and I had to choose a winner, I would say those large chunks of Brastagi carrots won my heart fair and square.
