DO NOT EAT THOSE BABY CARROTS IN BAGS, EVER!
DO NOT EAT THOSE BABY CARROTS IN BAGS, EVER!Did You Know?: The small cocktail (baby) carrots you buy in plastic bags are made using the larger crooked or deformed carrots which are put through a machine which cuts and shapes them into cocktail carrots.
Once the carrots are cut and shaped into cocktail carrots, they are dipped in a solution of water and chlorine in order to preserve them. This is the very same chlorine used in pools. Since they do not have their skin or natural protective covering, they give them a pretty hefty dose. You will notice that once you keep these carrots in your refrigerator for a few days, a white coating will form on them. This is the chlorine resurfacing. Chlorine is a very well-known carcinogen, which causes cancer. Stick with carrots the way they grow in nature. They are a little more work to slice, but it’s worth it to avoid dosing yourself with chemicals.
