Can you freeze carrotts?

Yes, carrots can absolutely be frozen. I do recommend however, partially cooking or fully cooking the carrots first before freezing. Since carrots grow beneath the ground, start them in cold water to cook. Anything that grows below the ground is started in cold water and anything that grows above the ground is started in boiling water. This principle helps with texture, flavor, and color.If the carrots are frozen raw without cooking, they will tend to gather large ice crystals quite quickly and become freezer burnt. This will sometimes happen with baby carrots if placed in an area of your refrigerator that is too cold.As with any frozen vegetable, the texture will be different from a freshly cooked carrot though. When a food is frozen, the water in the cells freeze, expand, and burst some of the cell walls. This is why frozen foods are more watery than their fresh or freshly cooked counterparts.Fresh carrots will have optimal nutrition followed by frozen carrots, then canned. If choosing between frozen or canned, the frozen carrots will actually hold their nutrition better than canned, since most food processors quick freeze their foods. Canned foods will contain salt and a lot of the nutrients are lost during the retort (canning) process.

Many people wonder if frozen and canned vegetables are as nutritious as fresh vegetables. The answer to this question depends on both the time between the harvesting of the vegetable and the canning and freezing process. Generally, vegetables are canned or frozen immediately upon harvest when their nutrient content is at its peak.The way vegetables are prepared at home can also affect the nutrient content. Vegetables of any type (fresh, frozen, or canned) that are boiled in large amounts of water for long periods of time lose much of their nutritional content compared with vegetables that are lightly steamed.Vegetables fresh from the farm or just picked are more nutritious than their frozen or canned counterparts, but frozen and canned vegetables are an acceptable nutritional alternative. Just be mindful of the amount of salt added to canned vegetables; try to buy those without added salt. And, don't overcook any vegetables.ReferencesWalker C.
