Yes.

I'm already eating these gross healthy shits, you want me to consume MORE of them? Why yes my refined palate is that of an American, how could you tell?

>>13912840
I just don't like the bitterness of the outside layer.

More kitchen scraps to go in the stock sack

>bitterness of the outside layer.
Wat?

No there’s not, and most modern restaurants just wash them by hand and don’f peel them

No, you're just wasting time and flavor.

>>13912840
OP will never get to flavor town

If you're making a carrot cake.

>>13912894
Why?

>>13913127
Most Americans have a genetic thing which makes bitter foods like broccoli or most peels way less bitter.

I only ever peel carrots if they've been sitting in the fridge and get really dark

>>13912840
Yeah. Sometimes you get really gnarly carrots with deep enough wrinkles that trap dirt and sand that cannot be washed off. Those ones need to peeled if you don't want to grind down your teeth.

Why would you even try to peel the carrot off for what usage? For clear pleasure for poopoo hole?

>Is there any reason to peel carrots if you wash them?
There are grooves which hold dirt, due to the way that they mature in the soil, it's kind of impacted in those horizontal little rings. The younger the carrot, the less the problem.
Use your good judgement. I've seen spotless young carrots that if you peeled them, shaving off a couple milometers in all directions, then there'd be no flesh left whatsoever in the middle.

so a quick visual inspection, cut out any obviously problematic knots, a quick scrubdown and a rinse. basically a potato?

>>13917275
Yep. You're just looking to remove bad parts and grit. Smaller varieties and younger carrots usually don't need any extra work. Larger carrots can be pretty dirty and need peeling to get the bad spots. Large carrots also tend to have a slightly bitter skin, but sweeter interiors than small ones. Nothing wrong with throwing peelings into a vegetable stock. That pungent aromatic bitterness mellows and rounds out flavors when cooked. Sweeter carrots build less interesting flavors, but are nice raw.

Consistency in texture

Is denying that carrots skins are bitter really going to be a thing on /ck/ now? It's an objective fact that you have to peel carrots if you're making things like carrot soup, carrot juice, or carrot cake if you don't want it to turn out bitter.

Are you the same retard that used to get on here and ask how to make eggs less bitter?

>>13912840
peel them until they dissapear, carrots are trash

>>13915047
Why what?

I peel carrots when I cook them because the peel has a different texture, but when I'm just packing a plain carrot for a snack at work I don't bother peeling or cutting it.

>>13918883
So you're one of those faggots that kept insisting eggs weren't bitter. Fucking hell, each time I asked about this, a fucking shitstorm erupted.

>>13912840
Yeah they look neater and more smooth, I don’t typically bother unless it’s something fancy
