carrots

❁ Elija zanahorias firmes con color uniforme. Evite las zanahorias que estén blandas o flácidas. Si aun tiene hojas en la parte superior, éstas deben ser de un color verde brillante.

❁ Las zanahorias tipo “baby” no deben estar ni muy secas ni babosas.

■ Wash the carrots and trim off the green leaf tops, if present.

■ Store the carrots in a plastic bag. Poke a few small holes in the bag for air movement. Refrigerate for 3 to 4 weeks.

■ Keep carrot sticks for snacks in your refrigerator for up to a week.

❁ Choose firm carrots with even color. Avoid carrots that are soft or limp. If the leaf tops are still on, they should be bright green.

❁ Baby carrots should be moist but not slimy.
