Mini-Carrot


Selection Information


Usage: Eating fresh, salads, cooked, stir-fry, juicing.

Selection: Also called a French carrot, good quality mini carrots will be firm, smooth-skinned, straight-shaped and well-colored with no blemishes. The deeper the orange coloring of the carrot, the higher the beta carotene content.

Avoid: Avoid carrots that are wilting, soft or are split or growing thin hair-like roots. Those with large green areas at the top or that have dark blemishes or brown coloring of any kind are also undesirable.


Seasonal Information


Carrots are available year-round from California.
