How to Pick

Look for loose carrots that are firm, with a vibrant orange color and no signs of wilting or softness. Avoid carrots that are limp or have cracks or bruises. 

It's also a good idea to check for a fresh, earthy smell, which indicates that the carrots are still in good condition. If you're looking for organic options, make sure to choose carrots that are labeled as such to ensure they meet your dietary preferences.

How to Store

Carrots should be stored in a cool, dark place, such as a refrigerator crisper drawer or a root cellar. Keep them in a plastic bag to retain moisture and prevent wilting. Avoid storing them near ethylene-producing fruits, as this can cause the carrots to become bitter. 

If the carrots have their tops attached, remove them before storing to prevent them from drawing moisture from the roots. Check regularly for any signs of spoilage and use within a few weeks for the best quality and flavor.
