How to choose good carrots
- Choose carrots that are bright in color, still firm, have smooth skin, are deep orange, and have green tops and leaves, without bruises. Carrots with their tops will retain their flavor and stay fresh longer.
- Young carrots often have more sugar and are soft but lack the characteristic flavor of mature carrots.
- Avoid selecting carrots that have spots or cracks, wilted tops, or green ends.
