I got some carrots from my CSA too, and they are so good that if I get so sad when they start to go bad before I eat them. Another tip I like to use is that when vegetables like carrots/bell peppers start going a little soft, they’re still perfectly fine to roast. We know how great roasted veggies are, and this way they don’t go to waste :-)

The tops seem to dry them up. I do like the peeled and ready to eat idea though! Nice post as always! :) Love your blog!

I’ve been getting tasty carrots in my CSA (FFTY – I’m another SF’er) and always feel like I need to eat them all the very day after my CSA arrives – or cook them. I’ll definitely try out the water method! Thanks to you & your family :)
