Carrots

Carrots contain more sugar than any other vegetable except for beets and are an excellent source of beta-carotene.

Carrots were originally purple, red, white, and yellow, but not orange.

Organic can be more flavorful and have fewer pesticides.

Store carrots in the refrigerator, in a plastic bag, and use within one to two weeks. To extend their freshness, you can trim the greens off before storage. For longer storage, you can blanch and freeze carrots in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to eight months.
