      By “ratio of carrot to carrot skin” I mean “volume of carrot / volume of carrot skin”. Volume of carrot is ~ length³, while volume of carrot skin is approximately ~ length², assuming a similar shape of carrot, because the skin is a constant thickness (determined by your vegetable peeler). This basically means the bigger the carrot the less money you waste on carrot skin.

      Depends where the missing comma was ment to be.

      higher ratio of carrot, to carrot skin

      higher ratio of: carrot to carrot skin

        I don’t think there’s a comma needed there. And in any case, both of those mean the same thing to me. Do you think they can be interpreted differently?

          1. Higher carrot count, in relation to peel
          2. Higher difference between carrot and peel
