HOW TO SELECT FRESH CARROTS?

Look for firm carrots with bright orange color and smooth skin. Choose medium-sized ones that taper at the ends. Thicker ones may be tough.

HOW TO STORE YOUR CARROTS?

Carrots can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a month if stored properly. To prevent condensation from forming, wrap the carrots in a paper towel and then place them in a bag in the refrigerator, or use a perforated plastic bag.

Also did you know you can freeze your carrots? They can be peeled, cut up, blanched, and then frozen to preserve them for approximately a year!

BENEFITS OF A CARROT

WHAT IS THE BEST RECIPE FOR CARROTS?

VEGAN CARROT CAKE

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 3/4 cups granulated white sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/2 cup plain non-dairy milk
• 1/4 cup oil
• 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup grated carrot
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Preparation

• Preheat the oven to 180 ºC. Prepare your baking pans by spraying them with oil, then placing a cut piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom on the pan. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.
• Once the oven has preheated, add the plant milk, oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract and mix in with a wooden spoon so that it is mostly combined. Some dry patches are ok.
• Fold in the grated carrot and chopped walnuts (if using).
• Divide the cake between the prepared pans and gently spread the batter to fill the pans and flatten the top.
• Bake at 180 ºC until a tester comes out clean and the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan. Approx. 34-36 minutes.
• Let cool in the pan for 5-8 minutes, then gently turn out of pan. Peel off the parchment paper from the bottom of the cake, then flip upright on a cooling rack and let cool to room temperature.
• Place the cakes on cardboard rounds and wrap them in plastic wrap. Refrigerate to chill before frosting.
