About Carrots

Storage roots — carrots, parsnips, turnips, rutabaga, celery root, salsify, horseradish — are the part of the produce order that does not depend on this week's weather. They are lifted, cured and held, and our reference shows California, Michigan, Ontario, Quebec and New Jersey shipping in every month of the year, with Belgium, Israel, Guatemala, Mexico and Colombia filling the gaps. The real variable for a buyer here is not season but grade and size: a bulk case of jumbo carrots and a cello pack are two different products sold to two different kitchens.

Buying notes

Most of the group runs in twenty to forty pound sacks and cases, carrots are also quoted by the pound in cello, and horseradish, salsify and celery root come in smaller cases because they turn slowly. Turnip, horseradish and celery root are carried down to ten pound, two pound and single-each packs for kitchens that use them as an accent rather than a staple.
