How to buy carrots

When buying carrots at the grocery store or farmer’s market, look for carrots that are uniform in color and whose skin is smooth with no cracks. The carrots may be slightly green at the crown, but a dark coloring tells that the carrots are getting old. When selecting carrots that have the stems attached, check for those that have fresh-looking greens. Discard carrots that have started to sprout, that have soft spots, and any that have become limp.

How and how long to store carrots

If stored properly, you can keep carrots in the refrigerator for up to a month. Wrap the carrots in a paper towel and then place them in a bag in the refrigerator to avoid condensation from forming. Be careful because excess moisture will cause carrots to rot. Carrots can also be peeled, cut up, blanched, and then frozen in a Ziploc bag. You can preserve them for approximately a year using this method.
