Carrots are crunchy when raw with a sweet or bitter, earthy flavour, and the leaves are also edible with a herbaceous, parsley-like taste. Carrots are an excellent source of vitamin A, which can help prevent vision loss, vitamin C to protect the body from sickness, and fibre to assist with digestion. The roots also contain some vitamin K, magnesium, calcium, folate, and potassium. Raw carrots, when properly stored will usually stay fresh for around 3 to 4 weeks in the fridge. If your carrots are sliced or chopped, you can store them in the fridge and they’ll last for about 2 to 3 weeks.
