Soaking carrots in cold water for approximately ten minutes helps revive and crisp them. Carrots that have become too soft can still be used in soups, stews, and stocks.
Pure Fresh peeled baby carrots have already been washed, but it’s always a good idea to rinse the carrots before eating.
Pure Fresh baby carrots are easy to freeze. Just cut off the stems, blanch in boiling water for several minutes, plunge in ice water to stop the cooking, dry, and store in airtight containers in the freezer.
The beauty and novelty of Pure Fresh sweet baby carrots is their size. So you’ll want to serve them whole. Roast the baby carrots in butter or oil to bring out sweetness. Sauté in a pan with butter or oil and ginger, garlic, or balsamic vinegar, parsley and/or mint. Steam or boil lightly, dress with olive oil or butter, salt and pepper, roasted almonds, walnuts, or pecans, and/or chopped herbs.
