In Season
Fresh from the fields June-November
In storage December-May

Storage Tips
Store up to 6 months

Store carrots in a perforated plastic bag in the fridge. If the carrots still have the greens attached, snap them off before storing. 

Carrots store very well for a long time with just refrigeration.  

Carrots that have become limp can be soaked in ice water to make them crisp again.

Culinary Tips
For the most nutrients, eat carrots raw. 

Cut into sticks or grate into salads.

Scrub carrots under running water. Peeling your carrots will remove some of the precious nutrients.

When cooking carrots be sure to cut the pieces into similar size so that they will cook evenly.

To prep ahead, wash and slice or julienne, then store in a sealed container with a little bit of water so they don't dehydrate. Then their ready to go for your next meal, or snack!

Slice and steam for 5-10 min or sauté in butter, top with honey for a sweet dish.

Add to soups, stir-fries, stews, and casseroles.

Steam and puree carrots and some add cream, onions, leeks, freshly grated ginger, or soy sauce for a delicious soup.

To roast carrots, cut in large chunks, brush with butter and place in an oven-proof dish. Cover and bake on 350° for 30-40 min.
