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, I also can’t think of any other easy but healthy things to prepare... And that, my friend, is why I’m settling for another round of raw carrots, raw tomatoes, and some other complements this week. I need help.

But well, in my defense, even if the breakfast formula is pretty much the same, I’m still being (sort of) interesting, you know? I’m trying another variant of carrot that the seller referred to as brastagi carrots this week. They are a lot bigger than our usual local carrots (and a lot more intimidating too). My mom decided to bring home the medium-size ones for the same reason:

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

Brastagi carrots:

• Much sweeter
• I almost can't taste the bitterness
• Crunchy but a bit hard to bite (I was a little worried about my central incisors so on day 2 I cut it into large chunks)

Regular local carrots:

• The thin one tastes quite bitter
• The thicker one tastes quite sweet
• Easy to bite

If it was a competition and I had to choose the winner, I would say that those large chunks of brastagi carrots won my heart.
