How should carrots be stoared?

Answer 1

Carrots are difficult to store while raw because they start to sprout.

My mum gardened a large amount of carrots every year, then skinned them by scraping the skins off, cut off the top and the end of them (that's VERY important if you wish to avoid getting a type of hepatitis and ruining your liver for life if you eat any dirt that's there between the green part and the rest of the carrot). Chop the carrots, boil them in water for only a minute or two, cool the pot of water by standing it on a bench, strain the water out and then put the carrot pieces into plastic bags in the freezer, and THEN the carrots will keep well. This is called "blanching" and it's a must to cook them for only HALF of the normal time. When you want to eat your carrots, cook them again until they are truly well-cooked. Carrots, on the skin, can go rather brown quite quickly, if you scrape the skin off and then leave them on the bench or in the refrigerator. Carrot juices is extraordinarily healthy, and are wonderful for people with eye problems, or for children whose parents have eye problems, drink plenty if you like, it seems impossible to overdose on that. Raw carrots are incredibly much better than cooked, yet if the above is organised, then, a large number of carrots can be bought in bulk, and cheaper. Sorry they won't last long from fresh. Organics is best.
