Rebranding Carrots as Junk Food
Why do baby carrots taste different from regular carrots? I thought they were regular carrots, just pre-peeled/cut.

Because they use the lowest quality carrots to make them (since they are usually sold cheaply), and because by cutting and peeling they can hide defects.
Also peeling them causes them to deteriorate somewhat.

They also bleach them for color and tumble them to round the edges.
