According to the USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service, potatoes are sorted into official grades based on size, with 'small' or 'size C' potatoes typically measuring less than 1.5 inches in diameter. However, terms like 'small' can also refer to immature potatoes harvested early, known as 'new' or 'baby' potatoes.

According to the USDA, a raw carrot officially classified as "large" weighs around 72 grams, though typical store-bought carrots often exceed this measurement. Defining what is considered a large carrot is not always straightforward and depends on factors ranging from agricultural standards to specific carrot varieties, like the long Imperator or the stout Oxheart.
