How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- You should choose carrots that are medium-sized, not too big or too small, with a slender shape, smooth skin, and not rough or covered with tiny bumps on the surface.
- At the same time, fresh and delicious carrots have a bright, deep orange color, with bright green leaves that are not bruised and are firmly attached to the body without separating. When held, they feel firm and slightly hard.
- Avoid choosing carrots with overly bruised and wilted tops, slimy bodies, and leaking juice, or even those with bruises; when pressed, they feel soft and mushy as these are old carrots that should not be used anymore.
- Avoid selecting overly large carrots as they are old, have many fibers, and are especially low in nutrients.
