Carrots were a type of hardy, root vegetable found in the Realms[3] and often used in stews and salads.[4]
Description[]
These vegetables grew to a much larger size on Toril compared to those on Earth.[5]
Availability[]
Places in the Realms where carrots were known to be produced included:
- Cormyr, particularly around the village of Eveningstar[6][7] and the town of Ghars.[8]
- The Oak-Father's Boon inn in Mosstone of Tethyr served a spicy carrot and ginger soup as one of its specialities.[9]
- The North, where carrots were cultivated in the walled abbey of Goldenfields;[10]

Beyond Faerûn[]
