Fresh, crunchy orange carrots are one of my favorite root veggies. I like to buy them locally grown with the greens still attached. There's a huge difference between fresh ones and ones that have been bagged and placed on store shelves months after being picked. I always buy organic carrots. And I never buy baby carrots in a bag. They're bathed in chlorine and aren't really "baby" carrots. They are reject carrots that are shaped into baby-sized bites. It's better to buy fresh and cut them yourself.
