a story of carrots

i learned this week that vegetables actually continue to ‘live’ when they are harvested

oops – will we need to anaesthetise them in the future before cooking ?  will think twice to become a vegetarian 😉

anyway – some things about carrots catched my eye and ears :

  • carrots actually loose a lot of energy when they are stored horizontally – they get flat and schrink
  • you don’t need to put them in the fridge
  • they stay longer healthy when stored in sand

waw – i have plenty of ideas for grocery stores and supermarkets now 😉

this korean young woman has found many more ideas to store vegetables and to save on fridge energy
