Carrot question.

I've had the same experience---soapy tasting carrots---

About 3 times in the last few years!

I hope someone knows what does this. They taste terrible!!

Best--- Ron

Were they Canadian carrots? Store here sell both California and Canadian carrots. Sometimes the
California carrots are not available and I will buy a bag of Canadian. They look like carrots but
always seem to have a "woodier" texture and a much different taste. I buy them thinking that the
last time was just a fluke and maybe the latest crop will be different. I just bought a small bag of
Canadian a few weeks ago and that is the last time I will ever buy them.

I don't know for sure, but aren't carrots and cilantro in the same family (Apiacae)? Don't lots
of people say cilantro tastes like soap while others (I'm one) love the stuff? Might that have
something to do with it? Perhaps you guys got a variety of carrot that tastes more cilantro-y
than others.

Are you taking prescription drugs, OTC drugs, vitamins, drink alcohol, smoke cigs, pot? Often folk's
body chemistry becomes altered (for various reasons, even occupational exposures) making particular
foods taste strange... perhaps you occasionally experience an interaction with carotene... even ones
mood can alter taste perception.

"Pooh," said Rabbit kindly, "you haven't any brain." "I know," said Pooh humbly.

Hey, good point!!

I'm in the upper Midwest, so they could be Canadian, or Cilantro type.

I'll be checking the packages.

Thanks, both of you----
