Baby Carrots - Peeled
Specialty produce is subject to availability
Storage
» Store immediately in the coldest part, of the walk-in cooler. Carrots in the bag will sweat, wilt and become limp from short term exposure to kitchen heat.
» Store in the original bag away from drafts from the cooler fan.
» Store away from ethylene producing fruits. Ethylene can cause the carrot to have a very bitter flavor.
»Immediately discard any carrots that develop decay or rot in the cooler.
Handling
» Follow good rotation practices, first shipments received should be used first.
» Do not drop or handle roughly. Carrots can break, shatter and bruise easily.
» Avoid placing the case or raw product on non-sanitized kitchen counter tops to help prevent the potential for cross contamination.
Preparation
»Prepare as needed. Try not to use product from the previous day.
» Always use sharp, sanitized knives to prep. Cutting with dull knives cause white blush or oxidation and hasten browning.
» Carrots need to be washed and rinsed in a sanitary sink.
» Immediately store prepped product in the refridgerator.
