Never heard of juicing carrots -- implies that they are only good for
juicing. Those nice, big, huge carrots have centers that are less
woody, they are sweet, tender and longer keeping. I bought 2 of the
big Costco bags (10 pounds?) in mid-September. They are still
perfect. No mold, no black spots, not sprouting at the top nor
producing roots along the length and still as firm as the day I bought
them. I specifically look out for these large specimens and avoid the
others.
