Choose Carrots
– It is best to choose carrots that are brightly colored, still firm, smooth skin, dark orange in color, with intact tops and green leaves. Carrots with intact tops will retain their flavor and freshness longer.
– One thing to remember when choosing carrots is to pay attention to the intended use. If used for garnishing dishes, it is best to choose evenly round, non-curvy, and fewer-eyed carrots. Medium-sized carrots are easier to prepare compared to larger carrots. Young carrots are often sweeter and tender but lack the distinctive flavor of mature carrots.
– Avoid choosing carrots with spots or cracks, wilted tops, or green heads.
