STORAGE TIPS
- Twist off tops and refrigerate carrots in a plastic bag.
- For long term storage, pack carrots with most sand & store in a cool (but not freezing) location.
CULINARY TIPS
- Scrub carrots under running water. Peeling removes the nutrients located just under the skin.
- Eat carrots raw to receive the most nutrients, cut into sticks or grate into many types of salads.
- Slice and steam for 5-10 min or saute in butter, top with honey for a sweet dish.
- Add to soups, stir-fries, stews, & casseroles.
- Steam and puree carrots add cream, onions, leeks, freshly grated ginger, or soy sauce for a simple soup.
- To roast carrots, cut in large chunks, dot with butter and place in an oven-proof dish. Cover and bake in a 350° oven for 40 min.
- You can also simmer the carrots in a stock instead of butter.
