Related to Carrot
Sweet Potato
Sweet potato is slightly heavier (139 g/cup vs 133 g/cup), sweeter, and softer when cooked. Works in roasts, soups, and tray bakes; skip for raw uses where carrot's crunch is the point. See our Sweet Potato converter.
Celery
Drops the sweetness, so save for mirepoix and soup bases where carrot's sugar is not load-bearing. Celery brings a fresh, salty-vegetal note instead. See our Celery converter.
Diced Carrots (Frozen)
Frozen diced carrots are the same vegetable, already peeled and cut, at 130 g per cup against 133 g fresh. They are blanched before freezing, so they soften faster and go limp in a raw salad or slaw. Use them in soups, stews and tray bakes, and add them a few minutes later than you would fresh. See our Diced Carrots (Frozen) converter.
