The "baby-cut carrot" is extremely popular in the United States; it is not a separate breed but a way of processing regular full-sized carrots to increase utilization and decrease waste. Mike Yurosek invented this in 1986,[1] and he and his son David promoted the baby-cut carrot in the early 1980s in Bakersfield, California through their Bunny Luv produce company. Major carrot companies followed their lead, and the baby-cut carrot is now one of the industry's top sellers.
Mike Yurosek was the uncle of actor Gary Lockwood.[3]
