How to Store Whole Carrots
Trim off the carrot greens, and either discard them or save them for something else, like pesto. If you leave the greens on the carrots, they will draw moisture and cause the roots to rot more quickly. Avoid washing whole, unpeeled carrots until right before you plan to eat or cook with them; by keeping them dry, they will stay good for a longer period of time. When stored properly, whole carrots can last for about three to four weeks in the fridge.
How to Store Peeled Carrots
Carrot peels act as a protective layer, so when they’re removed, the carrots dry out more easily than they would otherwise. Luckily, there’s a method to store peeled carrots that’ll keep them fresh and crunchy for nearly a month.
How to Store Baby Carrots
Most baby carrots are actually adult carrots, peeled and cut into small shapes. Therefore, you can store them the same way you would store any peeled carrots.
How to Store Cooked Carrots
Stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, cooked carrots will last for about four days.
Can You Freeze Carrots?
Yes, you can freeze carrots! We recommend blanching carrots before freezing, which slows down the enzymatic action that causes vegetables to decay and lose their best qualities—flavor, vibrancy, nutritional value, etc.
