source of Vitamin A. Although a
small volume of bunched carrots,
with tope attached, can be found in
some cities, you will usually find
carrots lopped and sold in
packages. Packaged carrots are
often labeled U.S. No. 1. The U.S.
Department of Agriculture grade
means good quality.
U.S. No. 1 carrots are firm and
fairly well formed, and few carrots
in the package have defects. Their
color is orange to orange red. not
pale orange or yellow. Most of the
carrots in the package must be at
least 5 inches long and between
and % inches in diameter, unless
the package is marked otherwise.
If the grade is not shown, look for
well formed, smooth, orange to
orange-red carrots. Carrots should
be firm. Don’t buy flabby or
shriveled carrots, or those with
large green areas at the top. Also
avoid topped carrots that have new
top growth or bunched carrots
when the tops are yellow.
Carrots can be stored in the
hydrator (vegetable bin) of your
refrigerator for 3 to 4 weeks. For
cooking or shredding, buy the
large carrots. Smaller, younger
carrots are good for eating raw.
