About Baby Carrots
Whole immature roots and fresh-cut carrots have different commercial storage periods. The PLU label alone does not identify the processing or packaging.
Nutrition Information
Name Baby Carrots
Each 100 grams of baby carrots provide approximately 29 calories of energy. Carbohydrates make up the bulk of their composition at around 6.9 grams with a small amount of dietary fibre at 1.6 grams, and 4.2 grams of sugar. Baby carrots also contain protein at 0.9 grams, and total fat at 0.2 grams.
In terms of minerals, 100 grams of baby carrots are especially high in potassium at 322 milligrams and a good source of phosphorus and manganese as well.
A 100 gram serving of baby carrots provides just over 80 micrograms of vitamin A-like compounds known as beta-carotene which are converted to vitamin A in the body and play an essential role in vision, immune system function and skin health.
Storage & Handling
Commercial carrot storage guidance distinguishes whole immature roots from peeled and cut carrots. The baby-carrot label alone does not establish either form.
Temperature
0°C (32°F)
Humidity
98-100% RH; avoid condensation and standing water
Storage Notes: At 0°C, the source reports 4-6 weeks for immature roots and 3-4 weeks for fresh-cut carrots. At 3-5°C, immature cello-pack or peeled/cut carrots have shorter, 2-3 week storage periods. Avoid ethylene exposure and surface moisture.
