The common fridge mistake you need to avoid to keep carrots fresh and crunchy

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

There's nothing worse than spending money on beautiful fresh produce, only to forget about it once it's been tossed in the fridge drawer; then you find it slimy and stinking weeks later.

One of the worst offenders for this is carrots - beautifully crunchy and fresh when bought, but quickly they will turn soft, wrinkled and bendy if you don't store them properly.

The tempting thing to do is toss them in the vegetable drawer - but cook and nutritionist Amanda Rocchio says you should never do this.

In a video posted to Tiktok, Rocchio said: "You've probably been storing your carrots the wrong way, let me show you the right thing to do." "Whether you prefer to buy whole carrots or prefer to grab a bag of baby carrots, you're probably tossing them in a fridge drawer." She said the best way to keep carrots fresh for longer is to store them in water in an airtight container.
