When selecting carrots, look for ones that are firm, smooth, and bright orange in color. Avoid carrots that are soft, wrinkled, or have cracks, as these indicate they are old or dehydrated. Smaller carrots tend to be sweeter and more tender, while larger ones may be woody in texture. Check the tops if they are still attached—fresh green tops suggest the carrots are recently harvested. If buying bagged baby carrots, ensure there is no excess moisture in the bag, as this can lead to spoilage. Properly chosen carrots will be crisp and flavorful.
