  • Cello carrot is a root vegetable, most commonly observed as orange in color. Cello carrots are typically immature, young carrots sold in one-pound plastic bags. They can be eaten raw or used as an ingredient in stir fry, stew, or roast. Carrot eaten raw is a combination of sweet, earthy, and fruity flavors. Cello carrot is available year-round.

Selection
  • The carrot should be firm, plump, and straight from the shoulder to the tip.
  • The skin is smooth with no rootlets, the little strings on the tip of the carrot.
  • The carrot should show no signs of cracking and sprouting. 
Storage
  • Cello carrot should be stored at 37°F - 41°F (3°C - 5°C) with a relative humidity of ninety-eight to a hundred percent.
