How people cook with it
Carrots can be enjoyed in a multitude of ways, from raw snacks to cooked dishes.
- Snacking raw
- Roasting with herbs
- Adding to stews
- Pureeing for soup
Before using, wash the carrots thoroughly under cool running water to remove any soil. You can peel them if desired, though the skin contains nutrients. For roasting, cut them into uniform pieces and toss with oil and seasonings. In soups and stews, they add depth of flavor and a tender texture. They can also be grated or finely chopped for salads or baked goods. For a smooth puree, boil or steam until tender, then blend.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to baby carrots, these whole carrots have a more robust flavor and a firmer texture. Their size allows for more varied cuts, and they retain more moisture during cooking than pre-cut varieties.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a staple vegetable for everyday meals.
How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining carrots fresh, store them unwashed in a cool, dark place or in the refrigerator. Remove any rubber bands or ties. They can be stored in a perforated plastic bag to maintain humidity while allowing air circulation.
