Carrots! Carrots! Carrots! The word carrot is synonymous with the season of fall! Everything around is painted in shades of red, ochre, orange, and yellow! Our kitchens are also stacked up with pumpkins, apples, berries, and carrots!

Plus, let's not forget all the nutritive values of carrots that make this root vegetable a great one to include in your meal. However, while cooking, we are not always successful in preparing them right! The texture can remain hard or turn too mushy, also do you know how to pick the best Thanksgiving carrot? Well, we will talk about that soon.

What is the technique for storing the carrots?

If you wish to make your carrots last longer then you also have to learn to store them properly. You might have bought the best carrots from the market but then after a couple of days when you look through the refrigerator for them, all you find are shrivelled and limp ones! Yup, that is right! If you do not store the carrots properly in the way they are meant to be kept, they can lose moisture pretty fast.

Here is what you need to do.  You are supposed to clean and wash the carrots the moment you buy them from the store but do not peel them! Then you can go ahead and dip it inside the water filled in an airtight jar! Remove the greens from the top so that it does not soak moisture from the orange. You can change the water after a few days and this way it is possible for you to store it for more than a month even.

Which is the right carrot to choose from the stores

When you are heading to the supermarket, here are a couple of tips that you should keep in mind while you choose the best one for yourself. Always opt for firm and smooth carrots which do not bear any cracks or blemishes on the surface of the skin. The flexible and limp ones on the other half are prone to losing their moisture soon enough.

The brightness of the carrots is an indication that there is more beta-carotene on the skin and these sort of carrots are indeed good for you. Some carrots like horse carrots are long and firm but they have high sugar and water levels in the flesh! Although they look quite appealing on the shelves, do not buy them, as the taste and nutritive values might not be up to the mark.

How to peel your carrots right

Contrary to popular belief, you do not have to necessarily peel the skin of the carrots. Do you know why? Because much of the moisture and nutrients are stored in the skin! A good wash is good enough and scrub the surface to remove the extra dirt and hairy roots if they are present. In fact, while roasting, the skin of the carrots will help to acquire a rustic look and retain the crunch and moisture intact. You can even save some time and energy in doing so.

Is there a way to enhance the health benefits of carrots

If you wish to enhance the health benefits of carrots then you can opt for these procedures that we have listed below for you. Do you know, carrots are in fact good for your eyes? So make sure next time you include more and more carrots in your meal. Antioxidants, biotins, potassium, vitamin B6 and K1 are also present in the carrots. This aids in better health and a stronger immune system.
