I just never saw the point in peeling them other than aesthetics. The
ones I get in the store, the "peel" is already pretty clean and it's not
like it's hard or anything. After I steam them, there is not really a
notable "peel" at all.

She could save herself a lot of effort just buying "baby" carrots that
area already well peeled.
