Topic: preserving carrots

[Tyke]

I have a big stack of carrots that i grew this year. I was thinking of freezing them. Do you need to blanch them or are there other ways of storage.

Will they keep in a sand box like beetroot and other root veg?

In order to keep carrot for 4–7 months without significant losses it is kept at a temperature of about 0°. The temperature is allowed to go down to 0.5° below the freezing point for short periods of time (two or three weeks) and rise to 1° above the freezing point. It is also very important for the carrot that a favourable relative humidity of the air is maintained, from 90 to 95%. In these conditions there are no practically significant differences in keeping quality between varieties.
