Red Carrots

Red carrots contain high levels of lycopene (the antioxidant found in tomatoes) in addition to beta-carotene, giving them enhanced nutritional value and a deeper reddish-orange color. They have a sweeter, earthier flavor profile compared to standard orange carrots. The striking color makes them popular for premium juicing and health-focused retail displays.

We supply red carrots in three size grades: Small (100-150g, 12-15cm), Medium (150-200g, 15-18cm), and Large (200-300g, 18-22cm). All grades are washed, polished, and graded for uniformity. Carrots are packed in mesh bags (10kg, 20kg) or cartons (10kg) with optional retail packs (500g, 1kg).

Properly stored at 0-2°C with 95-98% relative humidity, red carrots maintain quality for 4-6 months. For best results, store in breathable packaging away from ethylene-producing fruits. At retail temperature (5-10°C), shelf life is 2-3 weeks. Remove any damaged carrots promptly to prevent decay spread.

A 40ft High Cube Reefer container holds approximately 26-28 metric tons of red carrots. Shipping temperature is maintained at 0-1°C with controlled ventilation. Transit from Qingdao to GCC ports takes 18-24 days. We palletize shipments for efficient port handling and reduced unloading time.

Red carrots are excellent for juicing. The higher sugar content produces sweeter juice, while lycopene adds health-marketing appeal. The deep red color creates visually striking juices. For high-volume juicing operations, we recommend Medium grade which offers optimal juice yield at competitive pricing. We can supply consistent weekly or monthly volumes for juice manufacturing.
