Carrots can still be eaten after they sprout.

Carrot cells can be tissue cultured and developed into new baby carrots. This is called the totipotency of the cells. General tissue culture is to cut the carrot sprouts and soak them in nutrient solution, adding temperature, It can develop into new individuals as long as the environment and other living conditions are adjusted, so carrot sprouts are edible and not poisonous.

Although carrots will not produce harmful substances when they sprout, the carrots will distribute their original nutrients to the new life that sprouts, so the nutrients of the carrots themselves will be reduced. If the carrots sprout, it is best to deal with the sprouted area and remove the sprouts before cooking.
