Carrots
Best to Buy
Look for firm, bright carrots without cracks on the sides or sprouts where the green tops have been removed.
Prep & Store
If desired, peel just before cooking—or, to retain more juices and nutrients, try scrubbing instead. To preserve their natural sugars and sweet flavor, cook carrots in as little liquid as possible.
Quick & Easy Recipe
Cut carrots diagonally and combine with diced turnips, potatoes, and onions. Toss with olive oil and rosemary, and bake at 400°F (200°C) until tender.
Nutrition Notes
Carrots are an excellent source of vitamin A.
