About carrot weight
A carrot's weight hinges on thickness, not just length: the USDA medium carrot is 61 g, with large ones near 72 g and thin ones down to 50 g. Bagged carrots skew small, while bunch carrots with tops run large, so “three carrots” is a loose instruction. Weigh for a mirepoix you want balanced. (Source: USDA FoodData Central.)
