Can you freeze Carrots?
Yes. Carrots keeps 8–12 months in the freezer when stored in airtight packaging.
Blanch carrots before freezing to preserve their colour, flavour, and nutrients — sliced or diced pieces need only a couple of minutes in boiling water followed by an ice bath. Drain, then freeze them spread on a tray before bagging. They keep 8–12 months. Cook them straight from frozen; thawed raw carrots go soft, so they suit soups and stews.
