Here's the mind-bowing truth behind how baby carrots are made

Baby carrots are just pieces of a fully-grown, regular adult carrot, cut into two-inch fragments by a machine.

Once cut up, another machine rounds off the edges, so that the carrots end up looking like the ones you buy at the grocery store. The shredded leftovers usually end up in cattle feed.

Why not just use actual baby carrots? Real baby carrots aren't very tasty, and are often too thin and flimsy to pack a real crunch.

Marcelissen, a company that makes the machines that turn grown carrots into baby carrots, shows us how it's done.
