In South Korea, renowned chef Jeon Ho-jae reflects on how searching for 'carrot' increasingly yields results about the company rather than the vegetable. He shares his experience using Jeju Island carrots, which constitute 60% of Korea’s carrot supply, for seasonal dishes like carrot juice and cakes. He contrasts the local produce with California carrots often used in fine dining for their aesthetic. Highlighting the versatility of carrots, he discusses its role in enhancing flavors in broths and other dishes. Despite some issues with pesticide levels in imported carrots, they remain popular due to cost efficiencies. With global Carrot Day on April 4th, the focus remains on promoting the value of the vegetable itself.
