Carrots will rot a lot faster when kept in the refrigerator
Most refrigerators come complete with drawers designed to hold your vegetables, but should you really use them? Well, not for carrots. When you think about it, carrots grow in the ground, away from the cold and sunlight. While it might be cooler underground, it’s nowhere near as cold as the refrigerator – and that’s our first clue.
Carrots don’t need any extra darkness or moisture to help them out when they are harvested. If these orange vegetables are exposed to too much moisture, they will actually start to rot and become moldy. This means you won’t be able to eat them and they’ll likely become compost before you get the chance to cut them up.
