Store carrots in the refrigerator in a plastic bag or a container with a lid to maintain moisture. Remove the green tops if present, as they draw moisture from the carrot. For longer storage, keep them in the crisper drawer, and avoid washing until ready to use to prevent spoilage. If freezing, blanch them briefly before storing in an airtight container or freezer bag.
