soapy carrot

[Gardeners Delight]

the carrott I pulled today(only needed one as monsters) tasted soapy even after peeling and cooking any ideas why? all the rest have been fine

[Two_Sheds]

yes, a few of mine have been too ~ apparently it's down to terpenoids

[vegnut]

That was an interesting read. Thanks for the link Two Sheds

[Aberdeenplotter]

[Snadger]

Well I never. I once froze some carrots that tasted yuk.............now I know why!

[Gardeners Delight]

Thanks for that very interesting. So far only one has been soapy, hope the rest will be ok, mind you the geaunea pigs( sorry cant spell) didnt seem to mind

[Helgalush]

Ah that explains it then, I had one yesterday that was really bitter.

Thanks for this TS, I've some pots of coriander growing near my carrot beds, I'll move them away now.
