Storage tips: Refrigerate in a plastic bag. Carrots store very well in the fridge and should at least a month. If you want to store carrots from a bunch for a while, remove the tops before putting them in a bag. Fall grown storage carrots should last many months in cold storage.
How to eat: Carrots are a wonderfully diverse vegetable. They can be steamed, used in stir-fries, roasted, sliced or grated and used in salads, or eaten raw as snacks. They’re great for kids’ lunches!
How to preserve: Best: Store them in your refrigerator as described above! Other ways are to ferment them into Ginger Carrots or with cabbage in a sauerkraut. You can blanch and freeze them or can them, too.
