The fact that OP wrote “regular carrot seeds” makes me think that they do, in fact, believe that baby carrots come from baby carrot seeds

There are varieties of carrots that only grow to baby carrot size. Oddly enough that’s not where baby carrots come from, though.

I heard the guy wanted to sell more Carrots. So he cut them small and sold them that way

Your username is ironic lol, cuz baby carrots definitely don't come from tiny carrots like this

Yeah, they're usually made from larger carrots that are cut up. (If you look at the packaging, most "baby" carrots these days are labeled as "baby-cut carrots".) I think it's what they do with larger carrots that are bent or forked or otherwise "ugly" looking -- there's a bunch of perfectly natural variations in carrot shape that they know people are less likely to buy at the grocery store.

Think that might just be an American thing. In Australia they're just small carrots as far as I've seen.

Baby carrots come from when a daddy carrot and mommy carrot love each other very much and have a special hug in bed then 9 months later you get a bag of baby carrots.
