Storage Guidelines

Commercial storage guidance for bunched carrots with leafy tops attached. Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

Bunched carrots are highly perishable because of their leaves and are normally shipped and stored with shaved or flaked ice. Sensitive to ethylene: keep away from ethylene-producing fruit. Highest freezing point: -1.2°C. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
