Default Dirty potatoes

Not sure I remember dirty carrots. I wonder though... Why are they
sometimes sold with the tops on? Generally the ones I get in my produce box
have them on. I assumed they would keep fresher with the tops on. But I
read somewhere it is best to remove them. So I've been doing that and
indeed the carrots stay fresher. Sometimes they do have annoying hairy
roots on them though.
