Carrots
Season: Late Spring, Summer, Fall
Variety: Napoli, Scarlet Nantes, Bolero
STORAGE: Ideal temp: 35°F. Remove greens before storage - even if you plan to use them. Store roots and greens separately, otherwise they will draw moisture away from one another and reduce storage. Store carrots in a sealed plastic bag in your fridge, ideally in the crisper drawer. Without plastic carrots will dehydrate and go limp prematurely. Storage life (varies with time of year and variety): 30 - 90 days. Longest storage life comes with fall harvested carrots. If using the greens, use them within 7-10 days.

CULINARY TIPS
-
Turn greens into pesto (see recipe below) or use as garnish in place of parsley.
-
Shred into salads, roast, or slice into long sticks for snacks! Add to the base of any soup with celery and onions to create the most delicious base.
