• Rainbow carrots are a marvelous mix of colorful baby carrots including white, dark red, deep purple, and light yellow. Baby Rainbow carrots range in size from 2 to 4 inches in length. Petite in size, these Rainbow baby carrots offer a strong sweet carrot flavor with mild herbaceous undertones.

• Carrots are mostly used in salads and eaten raw in many cases because they add a healthy and crunchy feel and taste to the dish. They could also be cooked, stir-fried, boiled, and mashed instead of potatoes.

• Raw carrots, when properly stored will usually stay fresh for around 3 to 4 weeks in the fridge. If your carrots are sliced or chopped, you can store them in the fridge, and they'll last for about 2 to 3 weeks.
