Store carrots in the refrigerator, preferably in the crisper drawer, to maintain freshness and prevent wilting. Keep them in a perforated plastic bag or wrap them loosely in a damp paper towel to retain moisture. Avoid storing carrots near fruits like apples or pears, as ethylene gas can cause them to spoil faster. For long-term storage, carrots can be blanched and frozen, but their texture may change slightly.
