Bagged carrots keep for up to two weeks in the vegetable bin of the refrigerator. Keep them away from apples. Apples emit a gas called ethylene gas, which can give carrots a bitter taste.
Baby carrots require no peeling only trimming and scrubbing. Other carrots should be peeled to remove the outer skin.
If your carrots become limp and droopy, soak them in a bowl of ice water for 30-60 minutes.
