Carrots: what they are, how to pick and store them
A sweet root vegetable, good raw, roasted, or with onion and celery as the base of soups and stews.
How to pick them
Firm, smooth, bright carrots; skip limp, cracked or sprouting ones. Tops, if they're on, should look fresh.
Usually at their best from September to March: see carrots in season.
How to store them
Cut off any green tops (they pull moisture out), then refrigerate carrots in a bag in the crisper; they keep for weeks.
