Baby Carrots
The following is information from a farmer who grows and packages
carrots for IGA, METRO, LOBLAWS, etc
The small cocktail (baby) carrots you buy in small 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 - most
people probably know this already.
What you may not know and should know is the following:
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 same chlorine used in your pool).
Since they do not have their skin
or natural protective covering, they give them a higher dose of
chlorine.
You will notice that once you keep these carrots in your refrigerator
for a few days, a white covering will form on the carrots. This is the
chlorine which resurfaces. At what cost do we put our health at risk to
have esthetically ple
asing vegetables?
Chlorine is a very well-known carcinogen, which causes Cancer.. I
thought this was worth passing on. Pass it on to as many people as
possible in hopes of informing them where these carrots come from and
how they are processed.
I used to buy those baby carrots for vegetable dips.
I know that I will never buy them again!!!!
