Experts explain why carrots should never be stored in the vegetable drawer of the refrigerator

Carrots can spoil faster if they are stored improperly. In particular, you should not keep raw carrots in the vegetable drawer in the refrigerator.

The best way to keep carrots fresh is to take them out of the package, fill a container with water, put the carrots in it, and then put them in the middle of the refrigerator. This is reported by Express.co.uk.

This way, carrots can stay fresh and crisp for four weeks. However, the container should be covered with a lid to prevent the carrots from spoiling.

Be sure to change the water in the container every five to six days, which will also help keep the carrots fresh. This method will preserve the vegetables and extend their shelf life.

If carrots are placed in a refrigerator drawer, temperature fluctuations from the drawer opening will affect the quality and shelf life of the carrots.

In addition, carrots are very sensitive to changes in humidity, and the vegetable drawer in the refrigerator is designed for a higher humidity level than the rest of the refrigerator.

If the humidity is too high for the carrots, it can cause them to become moldy, and low humidity will cause them to dehydrate and spoil.
