If you carrot all.
Ooty is a popular tourist spot of Nilgiris. Despite being a part of South India, Ooty offers a sub-tropical climate which makes it perfect for cultivation of carrots, tea and cabbage. If you have ever been to Ooty, you would have seen innumerous vendors selling packets of fresh carrots at a mere cost of INR 20-40.
Carrots. Are you cringing at the sight of this word? So am I. Carrots are nutrient rich and low in calories. They are packed with Vitamins (especially Vitamin A which is good for our eyes). However, you already know this. There’s even a day for carrots (April 4th every damn year).
“What you see depends on how you view the world. To most people this is just dirt. To a farmer it’s potential.”Here, a group of laborers manually pluck carrots from the soil. These laborers are paid on a day-to-day basis.
These carrots are roughly packed in jute bags and transplanted into a factory area where the carrots are washed. The carrots are thrown over the moving belt where they are rinsed with water sprinklers.
These are then packed and sent over to some other location where it is packed for commercial use.
So, “serve the kind of food you know the story behind.”
