The principles were: 1  to store only those vegetables that were in sound condition and to remove excess stalks and leaves that could rot in storage. 2  to keep the stored vegetables slightly moist so that they did not dry out while keeping out the wet which would have made them rot. 3  to prevent the frost getting to them.

Home Freezing 1  -. Carrots, like most vegetables, need to be blanched before freezing. Vegetables that are frozen without having been blanched are safe to eat, but have off colours, textures and flavours, and nutrient loss. 2  What blanching does is stop enzymatic activity that decays vegetables.

In general, up to 9 months in a ziploc bag in an ordinary freezer, and 14 months in a deep freeze in a vacuum packed bag. After that, the carrots won't make you sick; they just won't taste as good. Harvest the carrots at its peak maturity but not old - they get tough and fibrous; younger is better than older. Process promptly after harvesting, or keep cooled in the fridge or with ice until then.

(carrot leaves left attached draw moisture from the root and dry it out quickly). Allow the carrot outer skin to dry in sun for a day or so.

If an old fridge is available, it makes a very good store. Plastic bags with holes are quite good too, but the roots must have cool conditions or they will sprout. Storage in sand and soil is sometimes recommended but this can create earthy, woody off-flavours in carrots.
