The weight of a carrot can vary  significantly depending on its  

type and size. A typical medium-sized  carrot weighs about 61 grams (2.1 ounces).

However, carrots can range in size from small,  thin ones that weigh as little as 50 grams (1.8  

ounces) each, to large, thick carrots that  can weigh over 100 grams (3.5 ounces) each.

The variation in weight reflects the  diversity in carrot types, from those  

grown for their large size and sweetness to  those cultivated for their flavor and texture.

In cooking and nutrition, the average weight  

is often used for estimations  in recipes or dietary plans.

When considering carrot weight for specific  purposes, it's useful to look at the particular  

type of carrot and its intended use, as this  can influence the expected weight range.
