Maturity
Carrots accumulate sugars as they mature in the field. A high sugar content improves eating
quality, increases storage potential and maintains moisture in the roots during storage. At harvest, carrots must be firm and bright orange in colour, should have achieved sufficient size to fill in the tips, and should have uniform taper from shoulder to tip.
