Storage Guidelines

Commercial storage guidance for mature topped carrots (general storage recommendation). Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

Keep carrots as cold as possible without freezing and at very high humidity to prevent decay, sprouting and loss of crispness, and keep them away from ethylene, which makes them bitter. Sensitive to ethylene: keep away from ethylene-producing fruit. Highest freezing point: -1.2°C. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
