Grimmway Farms

Color and Crunch, Available Year-Round

• Grimmway’s rainbow carrot offerings add a kaleidoscope of color to any dish, featuring purple, red, yellow, orange and white varieties.
• They’re an excellent source of vitamin A, and each color offers a distinctly different flavor.
• Rainbow julienne shredded carrots are offered in ¼-inch cuts and sold in 5-pound packs (2 or 4 units per carton).

Storage and Handling

• Refrigerate carrots immediately to avoid a break in the cold chain.
• Keep carrots stored at 32° to 36°F, with 98 to 100% relative humidity.
• Store carrots away from ethylene-producing items, such as apples, avocados, and bananas.
• Peeled carrots can whiten from natural dryness; a quick ice water bath will freshen the carrots and restore their bright color.
