Those who shop consciously and stock up are not only better supplied in times of crisis, but also save money.

Carrots can be preserved particularly well.

Carrots are one of the most popular vegetables.

No wonder, because they are crunchy, taste slightly sweet and are therefore also popular with fussy children or people who do not like to eat vegetables.

But how can you preserve them?

Carrots can be stored in the refrigerator for about a week, up to a week and a half if you wrap the carrots in a damp kitchen towel and store them in the vegetable compartment.

After that they shrivel or rot.

But there are several ways to preserve carrots for several years.

You should know the following methods:

• Freeze carrots

• Process carrots into soup

• Process the carrots into a salad and preserve them

As

reports, carrots can be frozen.

It is ideal if you peel the carrots beforehand and cut them into sticks so that you can defrost the carrots in portions.

Airtight packaging is also necessary, otherwise freezer burn can form on the vegetables.

If you process carrots into soup, it may be more work at first, but you will then benefit from a healthy lunch dish that you can defrost quickly.

Make sure that you freeze the soup in portions in suitable containers or store it in an airtight jar.

Grated carrots are mixed together with apple juice, honey, lemon juice and a little olive oil and left to cool overnight so that liquid forms.

Then pour the salad into clean jars, clean the rims of the jars and close tightly with the lids.

Cook for half an hour at 100 degrees Celsius in a preserving machine or pot.
