How many carrots do I need for 5 cups chopped?

To yield 5 cups of chopped carrots, you typically need about 6 to 8 medium-sized carrots, as one medium carrot usually produces about ¾ to 1 cup when chopped. The exact amount can vary based on the size and density of the carrots. It’s always a good idea to have a few extra on hand in case you need more.
