How to store carrots

Correct food storage methods can extend the life of food. Nowadays, many office workers cannot go to the supermarket to buy vegetables at any time, so they will purchase the vegetables they need for a few days at a time. If these raw materials are stored properly, everyone will eat them before the food spoils, so it is important to master the correct storage method. Carrots are a kind of vegetable that people often eat. How can we store carrots for a longer time?

The first method: First wash the carrots you bought, and then cut them into pieces. Then put it in a relatively heat-resistant container and sprinkle some water on it. Then heat it in the microwave for a few minutes, take it out and let it cool. After it cools down, store it in a sealed container. If refrigerated, it can be kept fresh for about five days; if frozen, it can be kept for about two months.

The second method: If you live in a bungalow, you can use the burial method. However, the soil layer covering the carrots must be more than 20 centimeters, and water should be sprinkled frequently to maintain the moisture of the soil.

If you are upstairs, you can put the carrots in a plastic bag and seal the opening. Place it in a cool and ventilated place, this method can preserve it for a longer time.

The third method: use plastic wrap to preserve. First, we wrap the carrots with plastic wrap and then store them in a cool and ventilated place. This method can also store carrots for a long time without them spoiling.

The fourth method: storing in a cellar. If we have a cellar at home, we can put the carrots in a clean cardboard box and then put the cardboard box in the cellar for storage. Because the temperature in the cellar is relatively low, carrots can be preserved for a longer period of time.

The fifth method: store in the refrigerator. If you have a refrigerator at home, you can store the carrots in the refrigerator. However, if there are not many carrots, it is best to put them in a cool and ventilated place. Because storing carrots in the refrigerator will affect the taste of the carrots.

Sixth method: If it is stored in winter, you can use plastic film to preserve it. We first piled the carrots into shapes of a certain size in a ventilated warehouse. Then cover it with plastic film at the beginning of storage or when the temperature in the storage place rises and before germination.

It should be noted that it must be in a semi-closed state, because this can reduce the concentration of certain gases. Increasing the CO2 level and maintaining high humidity can extend the storage time and the preservation effect will be very good.

During storage, the interior can be ventilated regularly and, if time permits, a strict screening can be carried out.

Seventh: Do not wash with water before storage. Simply cut the “tops” off the carrots and refrigerate. The carrots are stored this way so that the "tops" of the carrots do not absorb moisture from the carrots themselves.
