Gourmet or Heirloom

To make this super simple dish even better, pick up a selection of gourmet or heirloom carrots. Heirloom carrots can be found in some grocery store produce departments, usually in the specialty area. You can also find heirloom carrots at Farmers Markets, Roadside Produce Stands or at your favorite Farm Stand. Heirloom carrots come in different colors and are many times longer and thinner than regular carrots.
