Bolthouse Farms Fresh & Crunchy Whole California Carrots
What it is

How people cook with it
These carrots are versatile in the kitchen. They can be enjoyed raw or incorporated into various cooked dishes.
- Snacking
- Salads
- Roasting
- Soups
When eating raw, simply wash them and enjoy. For cooking, they can be peeled or scrubbed depending on your preference. Roasting brings out their natural sweetness, while simmering them in soups or stews softens them and adds flavor to the broth. They can also be grated for coleslaws or baked goods. Their firm texture holds up well to various cooking methods.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike baby carrots, these are whole carrots, meaning they have not been cut or shaped. This can sometimes result in a slightly different texture and a more intense carrot flavor. They also retain their natural shape, which can be appealing for presentation.
Who it is for
Home cooks and families who enjoy fresh produce will find these carrots useful.
How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining carrots fresh, store them in the original packaging or a breathable bag in the refrigerator. Ensure they are kept away from ethylene-producing fruits to prevent premature spoilage. They should remain crisp for several days when stored properly.
