This afternoon I bought a one pound bag of carrots to put in the evening meal.
The carrots look fine, and there texture also appears to be fine.
As I was pealing and chopping, my daughter (4yo) wanted some. After I gave it
to her she told me it was very YUCKY and spit it in the trash. Totally not
like her at all! She loves carrots.
I tasted one, they almost taste soapy. Really disgusting!!! Lucky for me they
didn't get put into my pot roast tonight!
Anyone know how they can look so great and taste so bad? The taste is all
through the carrot, it's not really like there was just some soap residue from
them being washed while they were processed.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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----
