In the video, a person is seen peeling a carrot using a peeler. The carrot is placed on a cutting board, and the person starts by holding the carrot in one hand and the peeler in the other. They then proceed to peel the carrot, starting from the top and moving downwards. As they peel, the carrot's skin comes off in thin strips, revealing the bright orange flesh underneath. The person continues to peel the carrot until it is completely peeled, and the peels are piled up on the cutting board.
