Tips for Storing Carrots
Containers
Store carrots in a resealable plastic bag or other airtight container.
Shelf Life
To extend the shelf life of your carrots, you can place a damp paper towel in the bag or container, but avoid storing carrots in water as it will soften their texture.
Temperature
Carrots should be stored in the refrigerator between 34 and 36 degrees Fahrenheit.
Avoid Ethylene
