Cal-O Organic Carrots, 5lb Bag

Carrots are part of the parsley family and are an excellent source of vitamin A. Just half a cup of cooked carrots provides four times the RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) of vitamin A in the form of the protective beta-carotene. The level of Vitamin A and their sweetness intensifies during storage. Slender, mature carrots are the tastiest. Look for smooth, firm, brightly colored carrots without cracks or any green, whitening or sprouting around the stems. The greens draw moisture and nutrients from the orange carrot roots and should be removed and discarded as soon as you get the carrots home.
