Carrots

[brawburd]

Is there a good way of storage? Out of all veg, these seem to go mouldy the quickest.

[melandraf]

in the bottom of the fridge, not in plastic bag...

The way to keep them the longest is actually to cover them in sand. Not very practical, I know. If you can't cover them, the dark is the next best place, but they will still go off quickly.

lakeland and waitrose sell green plastic bags impregnated with a ground up rock. They are sold to extend the life of fruit and veg and work really well

[incitatus]

yes a ccarrot clamp is dry sand, in the cold. so in a shed. they will then last months. Or better still put them in the bin and spread the word that carrots are evil and poisonous.

[bernardo]

To prevent mould, take them out of the plastic bag. If they stay in the bag, they sweat and then the water helps mould to grow.

[Caladon]

silly question, perhaps, but why not just eat them? buy enough for say a week, as they won't rot in a week. :o)
