English translation:Summer carrots
Explanation:
There is not a real equivalent in English to knippmorot - it only means it is sold in bunches (probably to indicate freshness, "straight out of the ground" sort of thing). Winter carrots are those bigger tougher carrots. But Summer Carrots, Baby Carrots and New Season Carrots would all work for knippmorot.

baby carrots (20 portions)


Explanation:
See the link for pairing of knippmorot" with "baby carrots".

"P" must refer to the Swedish "portion", which is of course the same in English.

  -> Thanks for the clarification. I wondered why it was knipp- as a special kind of carrots. We don't often differentiate them here in the U.S., at least in my experience.
