You can't actually buy it yet. But you can contribute to its development via Kickstarter. Acquaintance level donation at $5 will give you email updates when Carrot grows. Friend level at $20 and you'll get a Carrot seed. Baby Carrot level at $50 will get you a spot in the first harvest once development is completed in 3 to 33 months.
Both of these supposed market incumbents lack the simple approach of Carrot. Cabbage requires significant preparation to be enjoyable. Carrot is easy to use and eat right away. Leek is really only enjoyable in cooked form, whereas Carrot is available in both raw and cooked form.
Carrots also have far less fragmentation in shape and size - leaving aside the Carrot Mini which offers the same simplicity in a smaller form factor. This lack of fragmentation means that everyone can immediately recognize and use Carrot. It also means that children will immediately be able to recognize and use Carrot.
This is just a nitpick but this type of headline doesn't tell us anything about carrot or why should we care for its introduction. I love new stuff as much as the next person but can we we change the headline to something like "introducing carrot - an innovative nutrient carrying system for a new world"
I kept mine in my back pocket while at a wedding reception, last weekend, and when I finally pulled it out to use it, it had warped, and would no longer lay flat. While it still seemed completely usable, I'm definitely going to return it, right after I post to Youtube.
Before I sound too negative, I would like to say that it does look like a lot of hard work went into this, and I really do think it’s a good product. Unfortunately, it seems like another solution looking for a problems. From what I can tell, this product has little to no compatibility with Cakes and Deserts. At Small Startup – which this entire comment was written to promote – we heavily utilize Cakes and Deserts and can’t really imagine releasing a product in 2014 under the food category that doesn’t fully integrate with Cakes and Deserts. Is there any hope for updating compatibility in future releases or is this just another product that doesn’t even look at market needs before releasing a product?
EDIT: I was able to find a tutorial online for integrating Carrot with Cakes and Deserts, which may work until a better solution is found:http://www.chow.com/recipes/21792-moist-carrot-cake-recipe . I would still like compatibility with some specific use cases like Scones and Tiramisu.
Come on.... Carrot integrates beautifully with Cake there is even a Chef recipe for it (AHA!!!) ! It's my favorite bundle when working on Breakfast module.
Jesus, what's wrong with people today? Whatever happened with "do one thing and do it well"? Not everything new has to be like the Golden Corral buffet
There's no joke to be left out of. The community sometimes just blows off steam by mocking itself. I don't particularly care for it, but usually it goes nearly as quickly as it comes.
Wow, so much work was put into this product and the design, but the call to action is put at the very bottom. What a shame, did any A/B testing go into this?
Nailed it. The happy/lame/sappy music with little chimes, fast paced rhythm, and soft strumming acoustic that can be heard in commercials like this has started to make me go insane.
Pfff. I can make my own carrot FOR FREE by hacking a raised-bed and hooking it up to my local water provider using a polycarbonate pipe and standard spray head. Why would anyone need to BUY ONE?!
Depends on the copyright laws in your country, and what will you do, if you grow too much of them at once? Sharing is prohibited in some areas! Be careful!
Maybe someone should invent a subscription based carrot delivery service, or even a flatrate service for carrots, like spotify or netflix.

Carrot - simply the best.
Can't handle too much fiber.

I followed some instructions so that Carrot would be compatible with Apple, but it's made it impossible to move without a Glass!
I don't want to be sucked into relying on overpriced peripherals... How do I do a factory reset?
