RE: carrots

Back in the day...I believe that they used to pack them in slightly damp
sand down in the root cellar. I expect warehouses have tightly
controlled humidity and temperature so they don't wither up. I get horse
carrots in 25lb bags that stay good for quite a while in the fridge;
they are pretty big and that may help them stay good.

Subject: [CHAT] carrots

I have a zillion carrots here.  I dug up about a 3rd of them and already
have
3 shopping bags full. I wish the darn shelters/pantries around here
would take
fresh veggies, but they don't.

I plan on trying to freeze some for stews and cooking etc, but how can I
do
what ever the groceries store do.....keep them fresh for munching for
months?
Anyone know?

Donna
