As an addendum to my previous comment, for many years I was highly allergic to cooked/processed carrots. Been that way since an infant. When my parents introduced strained to carrots to me as a baby, I had a violent reaction. Nearly died when in college after eating a meal that included cooked carrots. All through childhood and most of my adult life I had some serious reaction to anything other than fresh carrots. I steered clear of them. Couldn't eat carrot cake, picked carrots out of soups/stews, etc. When "vegetable medley" was on a restaurant menu as a side dish, didn't order it.
My daddy, a doctor, concluded that something in the cooking/heating process altered the carrots and caused my body to react negatively.
It's only been in recent years that I've been able to venture eating cooked or canned carrots. I only eat small bits and have been "lucky" so far. I really like the sweetness of cooked carrots. Especially with a beef or pork roast.
