How to store:
Carrots can last a long time when properly stored. Wash all parts of the carrot (greens too!), dry them, and trim off the greens. You can store the carrot greens separately for easy use. Keeping the skin on the carrots can help them store for longer. After carrots are fully dry, store them in an airtight container with a paper towel to absorb moisture.
