Yes, we get it. However, organic can taste better and fresher because it is quite often grown in different soil conditions as well.
Many mass carrots are grown in quite sandy soils because they will grow longer under those conditions...hence more product...yielding more money.
However, carrots grown in sand have a completely different taste than carrots grown in soil that is high in compost etc.
Taste is not wholly dependent on whether the product is fresh or not. A lot of super market tomatoes have no taste, not because they are not fresh, but because of how they have been cross bred. Basically, they bred them to yield a product that produces more, and ripens quicker, but sadly has little taste left. They also pick them when they are not fully ripe because produce like tomatoes is easier to transport in that state. If they left the tomatoes on the vine until fully ripe, they would taste better but would not transport as well.
