Look For
Firm, clean, bright orange carrots that are well shaped. If tops are attached, they should be bright green, fresh looking.
To Store
Remove green leafy tops. Cover, refrigerate unwashed young carrots for up to two weeks. Mature carrots keep 3 to 4 weeks.
To Prepare
Trim root and stem ends. Rinse. Scrub or peel. Leave whole, shred or cut into coins or sticks.
