Sweet carrots
Dietitian's tip: Carrots — an excellent source of beta carotene — keep well for up to two weeks if they're refrigerated, unwashed and in plastic bags. If you bought them with their green tops still attached, trim off the greens before storing or else they'll deplete moisture from the roots.
