Why are carrots bitter?

This is because ethylene in carrots leads to abnormal metabolism.

Be careful when storing carrots.

Shelf life: 1 ~ 2 weeks

If you buy carrots with leaves, you should cut off the leaves immediately when you take them home, because the leaves will continue to grow and absorb nutrients from the roots. After cleaning carrots, be sure to dry them with kitchen paper towels, wrap them in a newspaper and put them in a fresh-keeping bag, which can be refrigerated.

Because carrots are not resistant to moisture, they must stay away from moisture. Don't throw away the cut carrot leaves! Tasty leaves can be used in salads, soups and other dishes to increase nutritional value and color matching. Be sure to remove the leaves before raising carrots.
