CARROT

Carrots.jpg

VARIETY:

Mokum
Yaya
Napoli
Bolero

STORAGE:

Ideal temp: 35℉

Remove greens and place in a separate, sealed, plastic bag in fridge (if you like to make pesto, or have a rabbit). Store carrots in a sealed plastic bag in your fridge's crisper. Without plastic, the fridge will dehydrate the roots and make them limp. The condensation trapped in the plastic bag prevents this. If the carrots do soften, dunk them in cold water, lightly dry, and return them to the fridge in plastic. Storage life depending on variety: 30-90 days.
