For fresh consumption, carrot breeding is aimed at obtaining tender, succulent flesh with high sugar content and a small core. Preference is given to varieties with uniform root crops, a smooth surface, and an attractive marketable appearance, such as the Amsterdam type, which is distinguished by its thin skin.
Quality standards for such produce exclude the presence of rot, cracks, deformed shapes, and pest damage. Unlike raw materials for processing, carrots for the fresh market are evaluated by organoleptic properties, such as crunchiness and the absence of bitterness, as well as by strict adherence to the regulations regarding the remaining petiole length.
