How long do carrots last in the fridge?
-
Whole raw carrots can last 3 to 5 weeks
in the fridge if stored correctly,
-
ideally in a plastic bag in the
vegetable drawer to retain moisture.
-
Peeled or cut carrots can last 1 to 2 weeks
in the fridge when kept in moist conditions,
-
such as stored in an airtight container
with water. Just to make sure to change
-
out the water every one to two days and
rinse the carrots again before eating.
-
Baby carrots, more sensitive
due to their thin skin,
-
last about 1 to 1.5 weeks less
than their larger counterparts.
-
Proper storage conditions, including
the right humidity and temperature,
-
are crucial for extending carrots' shelf life.
-
Additionally, storing them in a ventilated
plastic bag or a container with a lid in
-
the crisper drawer helps maintain
moisture and prevents drying out.
-
Removing the greens is also advisable as
they can draw moisture from the roots,
-
leading to quicker spoilage.
