Kitchen Hint of the Day!

Thank you to Angie for sharing these healthy Carrot tips along.......


When purchasing carrots, look for firm, plump carrots without rootlets. They should be small, bright orange and smooth, without cracks. Buy carrots in bunches, with their leafy green tops still attached.

Carrots lose moisture through their leafy green tops, so if you purchase them this way, remove the tops before wrapping carrots in plastic and storing. Instead of throwing away the tops, which are full of nutrition, try adding them to soups or chopping them and adding to your salads.

Carrots keep will for weeks in the refrigerator, although you will sacrifice sweetness and flavor if stored too long.
