That’s the dirt on carrot that is mixed with the water. You could see it on the surface as well.

I’m picturing someone boiling a lone carrot in this tiny pot for dinner.

Your water is probably slightly basic (hard water usually is). The alkalinity of the water causes the pigments (carotenoids and chlorophyll) in the carrot to turn green.

Well … it is the holiday season … don’t be surprised if the next time this happens, the water turns a bit red.

Even the idea, of one carrot being boiled alone in a casserole, makes me feel lonely and depressed..

Cooking carrots actually increases the bioavailability of beta-carotene but steaming them leaves more nutrients in the carrots instead of water

Was it a peeled or unpeeled carrot? I’ve noticed unpeeled grated carrots in carrot cake batter can turn green after bakingÂ

Carrots just want to turn every other colour if you give them half a chance. Ever tried purple or yellow carrots? (They taste the same, but they’re pretty.)

Op cooked a single carrot. 🥕 wtf?
I occasionally see a green carrot cake.Â
Could be utilized as a cute natural dye trick for Halloween maybe.Â
Green witch’s carrot pumpkin bread, idk.
Boil some hotdogs in your green carrot water
There’s carotene the water
I’m mildly interested in why this happened
I’m guessing the beta carotene oxidized
Carrots weren’t originally orange!
Everything turns green if left long enough.
I misread it as parrot and was horrified for a second lmao
that’s pretty good for your apparently inevitable stone soup
